On Tuesday, September 9, the YHS Parents’ Association hosted their annual “Welcome Back Coffee Morning.” This event gives parents a chance to reconnect after the summer break, and it’s a chance to welcome new parents. The new PA President, Lisa Tsai, introduced herself and the new Head of School, Chantal Gionet. The Little School campus also held their own coffee morning on Tuesday, September 16.
Back to School!
The welcoming committee was out in full force this morning. Staff and members of the Student Executive were here bright and early to greet students and parents as they arrived at the front doors of the Senior School. Watch the video.
The Senior School also held the first assembly of the year. Head Girl Ally welcomed staff and students, and Ms. Gionet had the chance to formally address students, staff & faculty as the new Head of School. She shared with us words of wisdom from Founder and first Head of School Lena Cotsworth Clarke, whose portrait now hangs in the Senior School entrance. Ms. Gionet also shared an inspiring “pep talk” from “Kid President”.
The Junior School was abuzz with excitement as well. Parents reconnected, and the girls checked the posted lists to see who is in their class.
What an exciting morning! All the best for 2014-15!
