Episcopal Upper School Newsletters

Dear Upper School Families,

On Tuesday of this week, we were honored to host international opera superstar (and former Episcopal student) Lisette Oropesa for our Lindley Spaht Dodson Speaker Series.  She offered us a message that resonated with me deeply.  Lisette shared how her life was shaped not just by her talents for memorization, for languages, and for singing, but by the way one of her teachers here at Episcopal responded to her during a moment of vulnerability in Middle School.  Even as we enter a stretch of the year when things can feel very high-stakes, let us keep in mind that it is often the little things and the everyday ways we treat one another that matter most in the long run.

We are in the midst of a very busy season, and I am mindful of what a privilege it is to work with your children every day.  Thank you for your continued partnership as we help our students finish this year strong.

Thanks,

Dan Binder

Head of Upper School
