May/june 2010
At the end of my second year on the job—through the annual survey about our families’ satisfaction with the Sea Crest experience—a parent implored me throughout his answers to stop referring to Sea Crest as a "community," saying that we were a school and should refer to ourselves only as such. Because the survey is completed anonymously, I could not communicate with him about his feelings. His sentiments still puzzle me.
To me, the important experiences our students have here are all about community. From collaborating within the classroom to doing service for others, students not only see beyond themselves but learn just how crucial their participation is. I witness the power of community on the playground, in our lower school morning meetings, weekly assemblies in each division, middle school advisories, class projects, athletic endeavors, K–8 carnivals, learning buddies, the list goes on. It is certainly a community that puts on our music concerts and all-school musical, one that enjoys each other's company on Halloween and during our family barbecues. We build community in almost all we do, and we firmly believe it important to do so.
It goes beyond the work we do with the children. I marvel at the extended community that comes out in support Sea Crest and its program through volunteerism and involvement in our fundraising initiatives such as the Auction, Ginger Girvin Scholarship Run, Williamson Annual Giving Fund, and Pumpkin Festival. We could not do what we do without a supportive community that opens its arms and embraces us.
We are much more than a school. We are a community that inspires students to think critically, express their creativity, make a difference, and act with personal integrity. Graduating students who do just that will bring benefit to the greater community. It is our intention that Sea Crest will be an asset to the coastside community for generations to come.
I hope you join me as enthusiastic members of the Sea Crest community.
