“Where else are the student ovations just as raucous for a spelling bee as they are for a basketball game? Where else does a former Lower School teacher stay in touch just because of the relationship she has with her former student? What a gift to attend school for a decade and be unable to identify a favorite teacher or class, because there have been so many.“
Adam Bergman, Parent of Michele Bergman '23
