CAMPUS

Thank you for being there.HE FOLLOWING PAGES tell a great story.Having seen our three children thrive at Concord Academy—each of themdifferent, each of them appreciated as an individual—my wife Carol andI know that CA is an unusual school, a place that truly inspires learning andhelps kids grow into their best selves. It is clear from this Report of Givingthat many others feel the same appreciation and gratitude that we feel, andthe same desire to give back.When we tell the CA story, we always talk proudly about the inspiring teachers,the caring advisors and house parents, the strong leaders, and the wonderfulmix of smart, interesting students. We mention the close partnershipsbetween faculty and students and the friendships that last a lifetime.But each year the Report of Giving tells another part of the CA story: the partthat makes the rest come alive. It’s a story that stretches across generations,from CA’s oldest alumnae to its most recent graduates, and it includes a hugesupporting cast of parents, grandparents, and friends. When Rick Hardyarrived this past summer as CA’s tenth head of school, it was wonderful to tellhim that story of ongoing support and welcome him to a community thatcares so much about what Concord Academy does for kids every day.Welcoming CA’sNew Board PresidentC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E / R E P O R T O F G I V I N G5 2Thank you for knowing how much CA matters, and for giving so generouslyof your time and resources during the past year.Sincerely,John J.
