A Message from the Head of School

As we begin this post-pandemic school year, we are emphasizing our community life and finding opportunities to bring our community together. I hope that you will be able to join us for one or more of the parent gatherings in September listed below.

It was also wonderful to see so many parents at the first PTO General Assembly on Tuesday and Lower School parents visiting the St. Thaddeus Campus at Open House. The PTO General Assembly was a great way to hear about how PTO is vital to community life and fundraising at Mead Hall. Please watch for PTO events and volunteer opportunities each week here In the Loop.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank PTO for providing the funds to help the school purchase a golf cart for institutional advancement purposes, to be used by admissions, for PTO and Panther Club events, for visiting alumni, and more.

Blessings,

Frank Sawyer
