  2019-2020–One for the Books!

  As I retire from BCS as Head of School for the second time, I can’t help but reflect on the wonderful place that is BCS and the tremendous people that make up the BCS community. The past few months have been nothing short of extraordinary. I know it wasn’t the ending that any of us envisioned, but I am both humbled and overwhelmed by how the BCS community swiftly rose to the occasion, navigating this unprecedented situation with grace and grit.

  Season's Greetings

  Last night, we ushered in the Holiday Break with our 54th Annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. We were lucky to once again have The Reverend Heather Thomson join us to preside over this service, which is a favourite amongst students, staff, and alumni alike. I also wish to thank our guest musicians, some returning alumni, faculty and staff, and past parents who joined our student choir—or, as I said for last night, the BCS community choir.

  A Legacy Year

  June 21, 2019
  
  We are wrapping up what has been another outstanding year of teaching, learning, and growth for our students, and the adult community, as well. At the closing meeting of the year for all our employees, I shared the perspective that this is also a legacy year for the school, as we have seen meaningful changes that will support and sustain our school for generations. The ‘2019’ that will be embedded in the foundation of Mitchell Family House will speak to a year of innovation and growth for our school.

  BCS Titans

  April 24, 2019

   

  We have some Titans—iconic people on our faculty here at BCS—people who have been both here and at other schools, working with kids for decades. If some of Mr. Maxwell’s Social Science colleagues were up here they’d joke, “maybe even centuries.” Time is, in fact, one ingredient of a legendary career. Madame Mesnil and Ms. Harding have both been here for more than 30 years. That represents not just dedication and loyalty but also a massive reservoir of love for working with kids. They have made a virtual lifetime of working with you and the many students who came before you.

  Happy Holidays

  Dear BCS Families,

  
  Thank you to all of you who were able to join us last evening at the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols that launched us into our winter break. If you were not able to attend, I can only offer the encouragement to join us in the future, whenever it works for you to be in the area. The last bus taking students to the airport departs today at noon, so I hope you will all be close to your children and sharing stories soon.

  The Importance of Courage

  Back in September we ran the Terry Fox Run, and it got me thinking about the tremendous courage that Terry Fox had when he embarked on his Marathon of Hope.
