Spring is finally here!
With spring truly here and delight in
sun, warmth, outdoor sports and events permeating all we do, we are able
to put the great February snow behind us, step over puddles from
exceptional rains, and throw open windows for the sounds of birds under a
higher pitched voice from that of Lacrosse and Ultimate Frisbee.
Black Rock Forest is
open to us now and the winds have pruned most of the trees. Much poetry
is being written here at the School. A literary adventure with Harold
Heno to Ireland, Wales, and Scotland (we upped the sales of Ulysses, I believe) was a
great success. SKS students re-discovered the great authors known only
to them cursorily.
I had a delightful turn-around trip of a
few days in Bangkok with a group of alumni that wish to help the
School—a most charming group of gentlemen, people the School can be
proud of in so many ways.
Ahead of us, just this
side of a dance program, play and graduation will be Viva Las Vegas Casino Night on
April 23rd. Please join us for one FABULOUS evening!
All of the proceeds will benefit The Storm King School's Scholarship
Fund.
As most colleges and universities' fiscal
year end earlier than us, we hope our dedicated alums will take some
time to visit for the Graduation ceremonies on June 5th. We ask them to come
and speak with seniors about their time away from Storm King. With
warning, I am usually able to put up five or six of you in Spy Rock.
Here, up on the
mountain, the return of spring permits a whole new outlook. As winter
disciplines us––spring helps us transcend worry. It pushes us out of
ourselves into an arena of possibility.
