The Class of 2025 <br />

enhance Middle School).<br />
One person’s goal is to surpass his brother’s sports<br />
record. Another wants to be the best student he can<br />
be, as well as not continue to lose his stuff all the<br />
time. And finally, several of you wrote that you hope<br />
Middle School will be as fun as Lower School.<br />
Your reflections warmed my heart and we will miss<br />
you next year, but Middle School will embrace and<br />
welcome you and I know that your hopes and dreams<br />
will come true.<br />
Director of Middle School Cyndy Jean welcomed our new rising Fifth Graders, challenging them to explore<br />
and create.<br />
Sometimes in the middle school I launch these silly competitions—it might be to think of the best handshake<br />
or list the different ways one can use a paper clip. I know it sounds bizarre, but I am always amazed<br />
at what my students come up with. Your ideas are boundless! And when you come together to collaborate<br />
and create, it’s astonishing how much you can dream up and achieve! I want you to explore this summer—write<br />
stories, design a new game, invent something, bake, build, ask questions. I hope you come<br />
back next fall and share those new ideas and new inventions with me. Remember, there are no rules, don’t<br />
hold back, let your imagination soar.
