Happy Holidays!

Dear Tower Hill families,

 

What a week it has been! I know our students and teachers are ready for a well-deserved break, and I hope you take time to make sure that your child really does rest and recharge. Tower Hill expects much from your children, and each day we are inspired by their dedication and commitment to do their very best. In order to have all of this hard work soak in and fully benefit them, breaks are important and actually enhance our children's ability to perform at high levels. 

 

 

Get some additional sleep

Read or write a poem

Cook or bake something 

Watch the news with you one evening

Share their hopes for the second half of the year with you

Draw a picture of a hero

Talk on the phone with a relative who lives far away

Realize that he/she is fortunate to attend school

Breathe deeply and appreciate something that happened during the day

Do some yoga or stretching with you on the floor together

Drink lots of water

Clean a closet or a drawer

Recycle something 

Walk with you somewhere instead of driving

Ask you to tell stories about your own childhood

Look through old photo albums

Teach you a game they like to play, even if it is electronic 

Play a board game with you and friends

Eat a bowl of popcorn with you

Play "I Spy" in your house

Share something that worries them

Give you a hug! 

 

We have had a busy stretch of entertaining in Hayward House, with wonderful THS gatherings of all sorts including Upper School Head’s Council, faculty/staff holiday party and prospective student gatherings. Thank you especially to our Green and White parent volunteers, our Home and School leadership and committees, our parent ambassadors, and so many others of you who support our teachers, students and Tower Hill. 

 

As for the Speers family, we look forward to gathering together for the holidays right here in Wilmington, with perhaps a trip to NYC or further north. See you in the New Year. 

 

With appreciation,
