If you are receiving this newsletter, then you are a member of a vast and caring community of former Village School students and parents. You have a lot in common: you and/or your children once walked these halls. Maybe you read a book in the Learning Garden or you performed in the old “Subterranean Theater.” Or you made the trek from the Swarthmore Campus to the La Cruz campus for art, music, or PE. In the pages to follow, you will read about some of our amazing alumni and learn a little bit about what Village School is up to now.
So many students and parents have entered this wonderful school for the first time as strangers and have left with lifelong friendships. Whenever I get a chance to quote the incomparable Maya Angelo, I take it. One of her most famous quotes seemed like a perfect beginning for this newsletter: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
On The Cover
We hope this view of Village students collaborating in the Learning Garden brings you back to the countless times you walked through those same front gates. As a Village alum, you are always welcome to cross this threshold again and again.
You, our alumni and parents of alumni, undoubtedly remember many feelings from your time here at Village School. I hope this newsletter reminds you of those feelings and that you will take every opportunity to come back to Village to stay connected with us.
Enjoy reading,
Danny Kramer Director of Institutional Advancement
