The Weekly Owl: May 22nd, 2024

It seems like only yesterday- school was just starting, staff and students were excitedly sharing in the newness of the year, and all the fun and amazing memories were still ahead of us. In a whirl, weeks turned into months, and months into seasons, and then before we knew it, another school year had come and gone. So many cool and incredible things happened this year, but as we begin to look back and reflect upon them, a common theme emerges: growth. Individually, students mastered math skills, sharpened their reading abilities, and developed creative solutions to challenges in Project-Based Learning. In groups, we saw children discover new friendships, and take on meaningful roles in each other’s lives. And as a campus, we built structures, planted plants, and honored our animals with nurturing and care. We grew together, as small parts of a much larger whole, and along the way we found out things about ourselves, each other, and our world. We don’t believe, just because a school year ends, that the growth comes to an end as well. From our tiniest littles to our proud soon-to-be Middle Schoolers, we hope the gift of lifelong learning stays with you all. For those of you leaving us to begin new opportunities, we wish you nothing but the best, and appreciate you for the time you’ve spent with us. To those returning for the ’24-25 school year, we can’t wait to show you what we already have in store for you, and we hope you’re just as excited as we are about what’s to come. Thank you all for helping us make Collage Day School such a special part of our community- we could not do it with you.

Enjoy your summer.
