Crescent Blogs

One of the most exhilarating occasions at Crescent each school year is Offer Day. It begins with a small group of Navy SEAL-style operatives consisting of staff, students, parents, and alumni stealthily placing giant ties on the doors of prospective family homes in the wee hours of the morning. For discerning families, it marks the end of an arduous and stressful period of school selection. For both groups, it is a moment of wading into the dark, in the hope of a new and bright chapter together.

While honouring and celebrating Black History Month is an exciting and enriching time, it requires significant preparation and collaboration to get our program off the ground. I have the pleasure of being one of two staff leads working with the Black Students’ Association (BSA), a group that takes considerable pride in producing meaningful programming that is educational and reflective of our core values, such as respect, honesty & compassion. This is no small feat, but as they say, “many hands make light work”.
