Head of School, Year 3: Belonging
FAIS families, students, staff, supporters, and alumni:
Last year started differently than we expected. But, together and with amazing resilience, we remained committed to staying connected, grateful, and joyful.
Year 3 has us starting the school year back on campus -- all grades, all day, all week! While life has not yet returned to "ordinary," FAIS continually proves to be EXTRAordinary, and a community to which I am proud to belong. I am committed to ensuring that sense of belonging is felt by each of us, every time we step on campus.

As my five day trip with our 8th graders to Washington, D.C., comes to an end, I thought I would take a moment and reflect on the experience.
We all have traditions that we live during this upcoming Holiday Break. Some of you may have religious traditions, while some of you may have family traditions that include traveling somewhere--but we all have some kind of traditions we look forward to during this time of year.
It truly feels like we are in full swing of the new school year, now that the opening days and back-to-school nights are behind us... and the rain has settled in. As I have said many times, I don’t think there is anyone happier to be back in-person more than I am.
We made it! Together. Congratulations to our 8th graders and 5th graders! Their resiliency amidst everything this year threw at them is beyond inspiring.
