LETTER From the Head of School Anne Powers
DEAR PARISH SCHOOL COMMUNITY,
As I reflect on another remarkable year at The Parish School, I am in awe of how hard our students work and the growth in each and every one of them. Not only in their communication and academics, but in creativity, confidence and social-emotional development. This spring especially showcased our students’ growth who were busy learning through multisensory experiences designed to ignite and encourage creative exploration. Activities like a living wax museum, musicals, cultural celebrations, planting and harvesting edible gardens, and so much more, engage multiple senses to foster brain development and aid learning. These experiences help cultivate curiosity and wonder, allowing the students to take ownership over their own learning as they begin to ask questions for further inquiry and discovery. This process helps children learn how to think, not just what to think and develop a growing appreciation for the process of learning, not just the outcome. The Arts & Sciences program highlights our belief in nurturing all aspects of development through hands-on experiences that encourage inquiry and experimentation. Through the arts and sciences, our students discover tools to explore their world, express themselves, and connect with others. The opportunities this program affords helps students take risks, embrace mistakes and appreciate diverse perspectives and cultures. These experiences complement strong academic instruction and help foster a sense of community and pride in our school. We are grateful to our dedicated educators, supportive families, and the Board of Trustees who help make these experiences possible. Your ongoing commitment allows us to provide a well-rounded education where every child feels seen, valued and inspired to learn. As we look forward to the 2025-2026 school year, we remain steadfast in our dedication to nurturing the whole child. Thank you for helping us build a school community where creativity is celebrated and every student has the opportunity to shine
