Monthly snapshots
Today I thought it might be fun to go back and relive the year through photos. So I’ve been digging through Ken Bennett’s archive and found a picture for each month of the school year (minus May – just too soon to have tons to […]
Big Adjustments
As finals week continues, more and more of our students will finish up – and begin heading home for the summer. Their return home is an adjustment for both students and families alike. Having your college student back home might inspire a range of emotions […]
Tuesday Newsday
Yesterday I made mention of an email that went out to incoming P’26 families with lots of info about the New Students website. I heard from a number of you that you did not get that message in your inbox. Long story, but apparently […]
