After all the ugliness, violence, political mean-spiritedness and callousness witnessed this week in the US this felt SO good to see these two sisters supporting each other, recognizing each other’s hard work and lift each other. 🙏🏽🎾#NaomiOsaka!!#raisedright #usopen #cocogauff

Incredible turnout of student leaders to help the transition for new parent and student orientations. School leaders provided overviews of academics, advisory, time management, resources, clubs and athletics and policies in our Upper School 101 workshop. #proudUSdirector

One of many important articles about social media pressure on teens. Must reads for all parents!
“Many of the pressures teenagers feel from social media are actually consistent with developmentally normal concerns around social standing and self-expression. Social media can certainly exacerbate these anxieties.” hgse.me/2YwaCh6

Yesterday new coordinator of diversity, equity, and inclusion @OfficialMCDS delivered a powerful 2-hr program for her colleagues on building a toolkit for courageous conversations. Only 10 days on the job, and Linda C knew exactly what we needed. #justice #courage

Ended today with teambuilding in escape rooms! What better way to exercise communication, critical thinking, and problem solving with your team. Always refreshing to see how each person’s strengths lend themselves to solving a problem #teambuilding #escaperoom
