On April 21 the Spring/Winter 2006 issue of Highlights
will begin mailing.
A Caring School Community
The theme of the current issue is "Caring for Others, Caring
for the Planet." Articles explore the the many ways the school
encourages this kind of caring: from service learning
to our International Baccalaureate programs, from
our current "Katrina" students to the
gardens at each division.
The need for endowment is also explored as part
of our "caring for the future" of this school.

features six "alumni profiles," including Marion
Rose Crawford ’85, Blanton Phillips ’87, Erin Tully
’99, Thea van der Zalm ’01, "Leo" Grozdanovski
