Fireworks in the Field
Anyone who was at Friday night’s Fireworks in the Field event had to have been touched by the jubilance and strong sense of community that defined the evening. Yes, we were celebrating both the kick off of the public phase of our “It’s Our Time” capital campaign and all that we have accomplished to date. Yes, the fireworks, the fifth graders’ song, the faculty/parent band, and the staging were all incredible. But what was at the heart of the event was all that our school stands for: being a warm, positive, joyful, engaging, and sensible place for kids to learn, stretch, and grow.
As the event was wrapping up, a parent of a recent graduate grabbed me to say how much her daughter and her whole family misses The Country School and how the event drove home for her all that was right about our school. She said she now realizes all she took for granted during her daughter’s nine years here. The next morning, I received a text from a parent whose son had graduated many years ago. She wrote, the event “was able to capture the essence of what makes The Country School so special! I fell in love with TCS all over again!”
The fact that we have already raised over $7,630,000 towards our $8,500,000 goal affirms the place that TCS holds in many, many families’ lives. True, raising the last $870,000 will be difficult. But as I ponder that challenge, I feel our community is up to it and will answer it by digging deep. As I responded to that alumnus’s parent who texted me, “I feel so fortunate to be able to play a role in helping to move our community forward, based as it is on what’s best for kids, on positive values and character, on reaching for challenges, and on hope for the future.” I hope you all feel the same way.
