Thank you to each and every one of you who made a gift to support our students and community.

Dear TA Families, Earlier this week the owners of the venue where the seniors had their prom sent me a nice note of thanks. While it was a surprise to receive - and a delight to read - the sentiments they expressed had a familiar echo. It's amazing how often I hear this kind of feedback, from visitors to campus as well as those encountering our students out in the world. 'Your students were an absolute joy. So well behaved, kind, and respectful. It was clear how well they all got along and the positive energy they brought with them was contagious. Several...
