Since this is our first Quailblazer of 2021, happy new year to you all! As I write to you today, January 20th, it feels like a new beginning for us, as it is for our country. I have such hope and enthusiasm that we will soon be able to gather together to share so many wonderful moments and occasions that we have missed this past year. Although our students have thrived and enjoyed their classroom rituals and lessons, our separation from each other has been noticeably and sadly absent. I am, however, so thankful every day that the children are here and that you are supporting their enrollment in all of the many ways that you do. I am so thankful to the staff that chose to continue to work hard to provide a loving school environment amidst the challenges they have faced. We are waiting to hear when our vaccines are available which will be the first step toward getting back to normal. We will keep you posted. Meanwhile, we continue to work hard and we continue to enjoy our days at Children’s House with your beautiful children. Cheers to new beginnings and to your health and happiness.

After the extra vacation days of Winter Break your children were more than ready to be back in the Toddler Classroom, exploring the new work I put out over the break. We missed them so much and it has been so fun for Rachel and I to see each of them come back so excited to learn!

Human Values in the Civil Rights study and upcoming White House Wax Museum
On Wednesday the 17th and Thursday the 18th of February, we will celebrate our Annual White House Wax Museum. Each student perform on Zoom, with 60 seconds of live history, for our families, friends and schoolmates. In choosing a resident of the White House from the last 221 years, we first consider their lives, impact and, most importantly- character. While we have not always seen perfect moral character in our 45 White House bachelors/couples (the Clevelands are counted once), our expectation remains. Anecdotes from George Washington and the cherry tree (an untrue story but reflective of public opinion) to Honest Abe and the overdue debt are what we remember most. Our January study of Dr. King and the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement helped us to define important human characteristics from the Human Values curriculum such as acceptance, courage, determination, forgiveness, honesty, peacefulness and service. These virtues, worthy of being presented and practiced, are considered valuable and worthy of emulation. This year’s online performers in our show honoring Dr. King, did a great job sharing how important they are.
