LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

As we reflect on the past year, I recall Rachel Carson’s observation on a child’s perception as an unparalleled and tender source of strength: “A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.”

Big complexities in the adult world occupy a significant chunk of many people’s mental and emotional real estate these days. Hardened abstract perspectives alienate some people from each other, fracturing trust and stealing joy from their lived experience. Yet, even before the trauma of these past couple of years, I suspect grown-ups have often drawn strength by reconnecting with that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring.

Each day, with our students, I am reminded of the unlimited power associated with finding beauty in small things. Our students realize St. Edmund’s Academy’s vision not through some grand triumphant gesture but through countless teachable moments sequenced and aligned to build their confidence, conscience, and intellect.

In the fullness of time, even our smallest students will achieve a much taller view. They will know those big things because the adults in their lives took time to gaze with them at small things.

Through your generosity, you inspire wonder for every member of the St. Edmund’s Academy community. Thank you.

FUNDING HIGHLIGHTS

HEAD OF SCHOOL STUDENT SUPPORT FUND provides need-based financial aid in the form of a scholarship to a student whose attendance at St. Edmund’s Academy has provided invaluable contributions to the fabric of our community through their academic leadership inside and outside the classroom, and their co-curricular involvement. Students who receive this support will demonstrate a proven track record of positive contributions to St. Edmund’s both in and out of the classroom as well as an unwavering commitment to the Core Values for which the school stands.

THE CLASS OF 1992 MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP is given in memory of Alexander McAllister Feely, Bradley Laufman Henninger, and Benjamin C. Klein to a seventh grade student who best exemplifies the qualities of the Class of 1992: an enthusiasm for learning while striving to be the best they can be; a genuine interest in the well-being of their fellow man in and out of St. Edmund’s Academy; the ability to lead and encourage others to leadership roles; and active participation in activities inside and outside of St. Edmund’s Academy.

THE C.P. STEWART SCHOLARSHIP is a merit-based award provided annually to new students entering St.Edmund’s Academy in fifth or sixth grade.

THE ST. EDMUND’S ACADEMY TEACHER AWARD was inspired by a generous donor and annually recognizes the teacher that positively uplifts the school community through their demonstration of core values and exemplification of the culture of teaching excellence. The individual will have a dedication to the social-emotional and cognitive growth of children and serve as a model for the entire school community. Given at the beginning of the school year to acknowledge the commitment of returning faculty, this award both recognizes the excellence in the work they’ve done and their dedication to the work ahead.
