Headmaster's Message February 2012

 

January 6, 2012 

    

Dear T-D Family:
 
This past weekend was full of soul food. The farewell party at the White House attracted over 50 enthusiasts as Chef Don "Kimchi" Johnson and his bride, Cyndi, put out just enough food for the American and South Korean revelers. It was yet another sad goodbye as our Asian guests made their way to JFK for their safe return. They all left with their Peace Mugs created as a result of their work in the Art Studio.
  
T-D's host families really outdid themselves with hospitality galore. Without cooperative families who so willingly open their doors, this East-West link could never take place. Thanks for all your Red, White, and Blue plus a little Green.
 
Sunday's International Heritage Night was yet another T-D blast. It was somewhat like eating in the United Nations' main dining hall. T-D's Maitre-D Aly Fanelli with the help of Annemarie, Scott, and the Mortons plus a few other special and most helpful parents fed about 175 guests, some dressed to the nines and others in casual dress. The entire evening was one of goodwill and fellowship.
 
FLC's kick back in and a number of them are designated on this month's calendar (see below). Grades 9-12 will be at Glory Days this week burrowing in Brooklyn. Numerous parents from grades 9-12 have invited themselves to join in the Glory. Come one, come all!
 
In mid-March six Japanese students from Sera High School will visit T-D. They will be followed by a handful of Russians in late March, early April.
 
I love global warming and am now trying to "get me to the church on time."
 
With radiance,
 
Douglas E. Fleming, Jr. 
 
Headmaster
 
N.B. February calendar follows:  
 

 
SAFETY AT DISMISSAL 

 

Parents are reminded NOT to park their cars on T-D's side of the street. This is not permitted at any time and cars will be ticketed. In addition, there is a safety concern at 3:00pm dismissal when cars parked on both sides of Overlook Circle narrow the driving lane considerably. Please park on the opposite side of Overlook Circle only. Thank you for your cooperation.
