From Amy:

Here’s what I ♥️ at the New School:

♥️ the students and their amazing teachers. I ♥️ going out to recess and seeing children of all ages playing together in a large group game of soccer. I ♥️ that the island is quiet in the winter and I am able to bump into New School families at the grocery store. I ♥️ Morning Meeting and how fun it is to hear childrens’ sharing. I ♥️ meeting with parents and talking through all kinds of things, from worries about a child’s progress to victories on the swim team. I ♥️ my OpEd team, a group of administrators that are incredibly dedicated to their work. I ♥️ partnering with the Board of Trustees to think about how to help Strong Wings and the New School support the island’s children. I ♥️ that we asked for support of the Annual Fund and received extraordinary gifts to match a $20,000 pledge. I ♥️ getting the shuttle riders organized at the end of the day, crowded in my office and I even ♥️ the days I am able to drive the van to the Boys & Girls Club. I ♥️ being Head of School, here on Nantucket! I ♥️ this community!!

Today was a special day - There are fewer happier days than Valentine’s Day in an elementary school. I’ve eaten far too many sweet treats and received lovely Valentines. Today has warmed my ♥️.

Have a wonderful long weekend! Enjoy the Presidents’ Day holiday and we’ll see you back in class on Tuesday, February 18th.  Between now and then, enjoy this ♥️ day! 
 
 
With ♥️,
