Head Elect David Perfield Visits Oldfields Welcome to the family, Perfields! We wish you could have seen the reaction of the students when Head Elect David Perfield surprised them with a visit during Morning Meeting on October 19. David came back to Oldfields to attend the October Board meetings, but stopped by the theatre on his way. The girls gave him a warm welcome and a robust cheer when he joined Head of School Ansley Smithwick and All-School President Joy Brown-Bryant on the stage. He is a natural! The student body made a strong connection with David when he met them during the search process, and that bond continues to grow. "My family and I are thrilled to be joining the Oldfields community. I look forward to learning from a wonderful group of girls, talented faculty,
and a community that is committed to the School's history and purpose. With time and collaboration, we will consider the future of Oldfields, being mindful of its rich traditions, and also being aware of what's most important for our girls during this influential time in their lives," shares David. David will be coming back to campus several times throughout the year. The OS girls are also looking forward to meeting David and Lisa’s daughters, Anna (6) and Lexi (4), who are excited to see the horses and their new home when they come to visit campus for their first time. We hope they are ready to have lots of big sisters! We know everyone in the entire community joins us in welcoming the Perfields to our Oldfields family!
