As part of Seattle Country Day School’s refurbishment of its website, I have been invited to post an occasional blog for the school community.  I am honored to do so, though being a little old-fashioned and formal with my communciations, the blog will be new territory for me.

Alas, we are all works in progress so bear with me as I learn and grow with this blog.

The purpose of this blog is to provide insight, comment, and perhaps a story or two which provides a portal into the life, culture, and mission of our school.  I enjoy a story which exemplfies or illustrates a larger meaning or theme.  The students here provide a wealth of opportunities in this realm.

As Harvard Professor Robert Coles reminds us in his book, The Call of Stories, we each carry unique experiences, some quite meaningful, which informs and impacts us moving forward.  Stories and experiences can provide wisdom and food for thought.  It is my hope here to provide a miniscule bit of both from time to time.

Again, welcome!
