GREETINGS FROM TGS
Thank you all for your participation over these past few weeks as we've hosted four finalists on campus for the Head of School position. We appreciate your feedback and your involvement in our community meetings.
TGS is proud to host Girls on the Run programs for 3rd-5th and 6th-8th grade girls again this spring. These are excellent after school programs and the response from previous years has been very positive. (See article below for more information.)
Some of you may have already seen the beautiful and evocative art collage that upper schoolers put together in celebration of Black History Month. This integrated, creative project is hanging in the hallway near Tammy's office and is well worth seeing.
I hope you are enjoying the snow day!
