That’s a Wrap!

The Ghriskey and Rosolen families conclude 14 years at Country School. Also noteworthy are the Boggess family with 12 years, and the Arredondo and Marin families each with 10 years.

You see, all of these — what you believe — demonstrate what you have learned in your years to this point, here at this school, from your teachers and families and loved ones, and from one another. And they show that you already know about how tension builds flexibility and strength.

So, as you head to your next schools, lean into that tension even as it might be uncomfortable. Lean into the stress even as it does not feel good. Lean into the new ideas you will encounter in your classes even when they don’t make sense. Lean into the perspectives of your new classmates, even if you at first disagree. Lean into sharing your own beliefs, in class and with your peers, even if they are first met with silence. Lean into the losses as much as the wins, taking what you can learn from them. The more you do, the more you will be weaving together new understandings and new wonderings, new beliefs and new ambiguities, and the stronger and more flexible you will be. That will serve you well in the next several years and in the next several decades, in moments of calm and in moments of extreme stress.

I have no doubt that you will need the strength and flexibility that comes from it, and thinking about you leading our future gives me hope and optimism. You are a tremendous group of people. Your seriousness, your care for one another, your notable leadership, and your good-natured friendships filled with laughter along with your interests, your talents, and the strength and flexibility you have demonstrated through some uncomfortable and uncertain times have given this community a true gift, and I am grateful. I know I speak for everyone here by saying how proud I am of you for all you have done and all you will do.
