Week 10 Distance Learning
Enrichment/Review

Dear Griffins, 

The end of the year is here and our time together, as strange as it has been, is coming to a close. I hope this video will remind you of just a few of the important things you learned before our world completely changed! What remains are the simple truths about Great Hearts students. We are friends who strive to be kind, honest, and trustworthy. Even when the circumstances prove to be adverse, we look for truth, goodness, and beauty in the world around us. 

To my littles, I can't wait to be back together again, learning, laughing, and making beautiful music together. We've only just begun! I'm so sorry we couldn't learn more wonderful songs and games together!

To my second graders, I know you will make Mrs. Trujillo proud because you have made me proud! It will be hard work, but you are some of the hardest working young scholars I have ever met. I will miss you, but I can't wait to hear you sing from the audience this time!

To my sixth graders, it's time to take a leap into Upper School. You will be challenged and stretched, but your tenacity has already pulled you through these unprecedented times. I know you will remember the lessons you learned in your Houses and keep the spirit of brotherhood alive as you walk the halls of your new school! 

I feel deeply honored to have learned from each one of you. Every day brought me a brand new lesson and even more love for this community. I feel a deep sense of gratitude to this years' students for teaching me how important education really is. Most of all, I'm grateful for the chance to make music together because I believe music is a time-honored way of story-telling, expression, healing, and sharing together in our humanity. Now it's time to breathe in rest and prepare for a new adventure!

Joyfully, 

Ms. Widdowson

Have a GRIFFIN summer and congratulations on a break well-earned!!!
