Dear Hunnewell Families,
As we stand at the close of another remarkable school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we have traveled together — our Great Adventure.
From the very first day, we heeded the call to adventure, daring to believe we were meant for something greater than ourselves. We set out not merely to complete a school year, but to embark on a quest — one that would stretch us, challenge us, and ultimately bring us closer as a community. Along the way, we faced obstacles — dragons to slay, doubts to confront, and challenges that demanded courage, resilience, and heart. But we met them together.
And with those challenges came treasures: new friendships, strengthened bonds, the joy of discovery, and the lessons that only come through effort and vulnerability. We laughed — a lot. We stumbled and stood again. We celebrated each other’s victories and offered grace in moments of struggle. We lived the adventure fully — with heart.
As we turn the page on this chapter, let us remember that no true adventure is complete without a little pain, a lot of love, and the quiet moments in between. We’ve made friends, learned lessons, felt hurts that hurt, and, perhaps most importantly, we’ve known the joy and laughter that make the journey worth it.
To those families continuing with us, I look forward to where the next trail leads. And to those whose journey takes them beyond Hunnewell, thank you. Thank you for sharing this part of the trail with us. Your footsteps have left a mark on this place. You will always be part of this story.
So instead of “goodbye,” we say: “See you again… somewhere down the trail of adventure.”
Because once a Hunnewell Hawk… always a Hunnewell Hawk.
Dare to Dream,
Mr. Dees
