I’ve also participated as a member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, working to bring this important lens to decisions made across the School. As Parent Representative to the Board, I’ve felt humbled by my experiences with the many parents who have come to me with their stories and experiences, thoughts and concerns, and suggestions and feedback. I thank everyone for having the courage to share and to speak up, and most importantly, for entrusting me with their voices. In these, and in the many other activities and conversations I have participated in as a Trustee, I have gained a deeper understanding of the Board—both how it serves the School and how it has been a vital part of our community since its formation. I’m so grateful to all of our Trustees, past and present, for the role they have played in helping C&C to become the thriving community and
school that it is today, and I am so appreciative of the opportunity to participate as Parent Representative. A special thank you to C&C Archivist Jordis Rosberg for helping me delve into the Archives to learn more about the history of the Board!
WELCOME TO NEW BOARD MEMBERS Three new Trustees joined us in 2019: AZ Jenkins, C&C alumni parent (Greta ’08, Sophia ’10, and Leo ’15); IXsJ Group Teacher Jessica Vander Salm as one of our two Teacher Representatives; and Bruce Wilpon, C&C parent (Sia, VsW). More information about our Board members can be found in the About Us section of cityandcountry.org.
SPECIAL FRIENDS VISITING MORNING On Friday, December 6, 2019, students in our IVs through VIIs invited their special friends into their classrooms for a peek into how they spend their time at school. It was a joy to see everyone having so much fun together and to host visitors who were so excited to learn about what happens here at C&C!
