Spring Family Weekend 2009 - Check the Highlights!

Dear St. Margaret’s families,

Welcome to one of the most exciting weekends in the St. Margaret's School year! During Spring Family Weekend we celebrate so many of the dimensions of our lives here and invite you to join us. While we honor our seniors with a number of special activities, this is a time for all students and their families to celebrate being part of the St. Margaret's School community. It has been a wonderful year and we look forward to having you with us on May 1-3, 2009 for this festive weekend.

Additional materials provide details of the weekend’s activities. We have scheduled carefully so that whatever your daughter’s age or whatever her particular interests and activities, you will be able to attend all of our events. Consider the opportunities:

  •   The pride of cheering for four sports team at our new athletic complex
  •   Joining your daughter for a father/daughter round of golf
  •   The camaraderie of meals shared beside the river with your daughter and the families of her St. Margaret's School friends
  •   The inspiration of the arts with our students as the stars
  •   Insights into seniors’ Independent Study projects and college choices
  •   A chance for your own rubber duckie to win you prizes while supporting the Parent Council
  •   Discovering if the faculty rowers will finally defeat the students
  •   A quiet conversation with your daughter’s advisor
  •   Luncheon on the lawn honoring the seniors and the presentation of senior portraits
  •   May Ball – a celebration of our seniors living into our motto, As we grown in age, may we grow in grace, and good food and music for us all!

All celebrations draw a crowd and we’ll be delighted to have you here with us. Links are provided to registration and permission forms. If you have questions about any aspect of the weekend, please write or call either Cookie Evans who will take reservations or the School Life Office which will handle permissions.

Sincerely,



Margaret R. Broad
Head of School
