Dear <strong>Chesterfield</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>School</strong> community,<br />
I am deeply honored and excited to join the <strong>Chesterfield</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>School</strong> community as the Head of <strong>School</strong> during<br />
our 50th Anniversary celebration year. Since receiving the appointment in November <strong>2010</strong>, I have quickly<br />
realized the <strong>School</strong>’s deep history of providing a personalized education of unparalleled excellence for<br />
students of diverse backgrounds. Our community of parents, faculty, administration, staff, and students is<br />
committed and intentional in making our mission a reality. The information in this <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> bears out<br />
that commitment and intentionality.<br />
However, to truly understand this impact, I invite you to walk our halls and talk with a <strong>Chesterfield</strong> <strong>Day</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> student. You will quickly realize that she is an autonomous, self-directed, and creative thinker. He is<br />
comfortable working by himself for long periods of time. She is also excited to engage with her peers in<br />
collaborative learning experiences and community service opportunities. He will be comfortable speaking to<br />
you and to a larger group in a confident manner. This confidence will be present in all of her interactions with<br />
peers and adults. Finally, he is a child who understands the importance of kindness, responsibility and making<br />
good and sound decisions. In sum, she enters our <strong>School</strong> with a love of learning and a passion which is both<br />
intact and deepened when she leaves our <strong>School</strong> in sixth grade. Indeed, this conversation will leave you<br />
impressed that every “whole child” is deeply and thoughtfully impacted by <strong>Chesterfield</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Our <strong>School</strong> is excited to celebrate its 50th anniversary this coming year. We are eager to celebrate the people<br />
and traditions that have made <strong>Chesterfield</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>School</strong> the excellent school that it is today. We are looking<br />
forward to sharing with others the special feelings that all in our community feel about this <strong>School</strong>. It will be<br />
a wonderful and memorable year.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Matt Virgil<br />
Incoming Head of <strong>School</strong>
