While not a holiday classic (in my mind), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reminds me that the holidays are here. The smell of autumn (and Thanksgiving) is in the air at Friends School. As leaves float down and the Tidewater air moves from frosty to balmy back to frosty, there is a clear sense at Friends School that everyone is looking forward to next week’s Thanksgiving holiday.
Next week on Tuesday November 23rd, we will be sharing details for our virtual Grandparents and Grandfriends Day. To show our appreciation for the love and support Grandparents and Grandfriends provide, our teachers have been working super hard to create videos, performances, and activities so please be ready to pass along to your loved ones!
All the best,
Mike
Head of School
