April 19th, 2021
It has been a terrific first week of full-on in-person learning this week at Wye River Upper School. While we are sympathetic to those who cannot join us in person, spirits are light as we hear Geneya singing John Lennon in gym, see Andrew pumping iron at The Y, listen to Chris and Alexandra chatter about the osprey nest on Chesterfield Ave., watch Davin and Garrett running along Mill Creek, and hear Adon’s tenor sax as he records in the gym. Athletics and activities are in full swing and we’re getting ready for a hybrid Art and Music Expo.
No, it’s not as terrific as April 2019, but it’s a whole lot better than April 2020. And just wait until April 2022!
Now that anyone who is 16 or older can get vaccinated, we’re seeing many students join the faculty and staff among the “jabbed.” We’ll continue with pool testing, masks, hand washing and sanitizing, and social distancing at least through this school year, and will determine what precautions still need to be in place given guidelines from the state and the CDC when August rolls around. In the meantime, we’re going to enjoy having those students who can be with us in person and keep those who can’t, in the loop. I can’t wait to see things take off next fall, even if from afar!
Interim Head of School, Dave Mullen
