I just thought this was funny. It’s a video clip from this morning’s Leadership Launch, an annual tradition that recognizes the Sixth Grade students as leaders, since they are the “seniors” of the school. They were sitting on the left side (off camera) as the segment was being introduced by our Head of School. When… Read more
