Dear Families,

Happy March! Thank you for your partnership at conferences last week. We feel so lucky to work alongside you.

Last night, I was enjoying some Lucy time (my 4 year-old niece) and she was engaging in her usual dramatic play (“Auntie Dell, pretend you are my evil stepmom and make me do chores before I can eat dinner!” “Auntie Dell, pretend I’m a dancer in the Nutcracker.” and on and on and on :) ). But then, out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the tv in the back of the restaurant that was silently playing a tween Disney Channel show.

Dear Middle School Families,

I spent much of this past week at the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Annual Conference. It was wonderful to reconnect with former colleagues, to think together with current colleagues and new acquaintances, and to share time in a space filled with educators who all have one goal—to provide the best educational experiences possible for our students. As I thought about our own School, knowing that we sit poised to pursue a variety of plans and programs that we envision as part of the future of SFS and its students, I reflected on how it is a truly exciting time to be part of the community.

Dear Friends,

Last week, I attended the annual National Association of Independent Schools conference in Long Beach, California, along with several colleagues and thousands of educators from around the country. We had the chance to learn from national thought leaders across the country on a range of topics: supporting overscheduled students; cultural competency; discipline in the social media age; best practices in new faculty orientation, and much, much, more! I am excited to bring back what I have learned to Sidwell Friends!

Dear Friends,

What a great weekend for Sidwell Friends Athletics! On Thursday, we hosted new Howard Football Coach Ron Prince, who gave the best NCAA recruiting talk I’ve ever heard. His insights into admissions offices at elite academic institutions was fascinating, and a real eye-opener for many in the audience. I’m sure his knowledge is just as valuable for families not pursuing intercollegiate athletics, and I’d be happy to share his key points if you missed it. I’ll definitely be following Howard football this year and rooting for Coach Prince.
