The Steward School

From the Headmaster·s Desk CONNECTION A New Chapter and A Familiar Purpose On behalf of the entire faculty, staH and administration, I want to welcome all new and returning students and their fami lies to The Steward School for the new school year. I trust that the first few days of school have gone well for children and parents , and that both are getting comfortable with the new routine and challenges of the academic year.

In this issue September 1994 :

The start of school is characterized by a mixture of renewed energy, fresh outlooks , anxiety, excitement and anticipation . This year's "back to school jitters" may be heightened because of an array of changes that mark a new chapter for Steward . The extent of the changes run the gamut from a new Headmaster and over fifty new students to twenty-seven new computers . The details on these changes can be found inside this first edition of the Blue and Gold Connection. Since moving into the Headmaster's Office this July, I have been inspired by the commitment of teachers, trustees , parents and students to the School and their support of my new role in it. I have heard numerous stories about how this school has touched and changed lives. These stories have reaHirmed my initial impression that The Steward School is a very special place, and they are a tribute to Paul Cramer and his leadership over the past 19 years. In a time when educational reformers are talking about smaller schools, favorable teacher-student ratios and learning differences , I am reminded of how progressive Steward is . It is my goal to build upon these strengths in the years ahead . The Steward School will remain a college preparatory school attuned to the needs of the individual learner. We will continue to offer an educational program that nurtures and challenges in a family-like atmosphere. It is my hope that along with this familiar purpose, you will find a new energy and openness.

Welcome new students, teachers and our new school counselor.
