Greetings All,
I hope that your week has been a good one. Temperature variations once again played havoc with our wardrobes. No worries however because when the week begins with Sweet Treats we can deal with anything. A collective note of gratitude is extended to the Holton-Arms Parents Association for their generosity.
Another busy weekend awaits us. Whether academic, artistic or athletic endeavors, we always wish our girls the very best. Go Panthers. The weekend building hours for February 11-12, 2017 are posted below. Please note that the building is officially scheduled to open at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. On behalf of my good friends in the Facilities Department, I would like to wish all of my colleagues a safe and relaxing weekend.
On one final note, Irene Schindler, the mother of Becky Levinson, '18 was kind enough to donate a box of 2017 calendars to the school community. The calendars were produced by the Congressional Commission on The American Museum of Women's History. That commission which was established in 2014 has been tasked with conducting an independent study assessing the feasibility of creating a national museum distinctly dedicated to women's history. It would certainly seem as if the answer to that objective should be a resounding yes. The completed study was presented to Congress just last year. That study sought to identify and address issues related to content, location and financing among others. A monthly pictorial tribute is contained in the calendar dedicated to women trailblazers throughout our nation's history. Many of you have already obtained one, but if you have not had the opportunity please feel free to do so. The calendars are currently located behind the front security desk. Another collective note of thanks is extended on behalf of the Holton-Arms faculty and staff.
The following website is provided should you desire to find out more information about this initiative:
Thank you everyone and take care.
Ken
