A Message From The Head of the Junior School – Thursday, December 18

On By havergaljuniorschool

Dear Junior School Families,

In our final edition of “The Weekly – Junior School” for 2025, I wanted to offer a sincere note of thanks to all of you for your partnership and support of Havergal this year. We have already accomplished so much together as a community, and we are excited to see all that 2026 has in store.

Our faculty and staff have been so blown away by the beautiful notes and gifts we have received throughout the week, including from the HCPA, sharing your appreciation with our amazing team. We are truly grateful for your generosity and kindness. Thank you. Here is a short Thank you Message to the HCPA Video from our faculty and staff. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday over the next few weeks, and a well deserved opportunity to rest, and spend time with family and friends. May the spirit of the season bring you all much joy, health and happiness. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, January 6.

Warmly

Kate
