Honor: A Time for Celebration
S
pring at Brunswick is a time of honor. As we graduate our seniors, we recognize and celebrate both impressive individual achievements as well as the positive collective impact that this senior class has had on its “younger brothers” and on our larger Brunswick community. We also celebrate those boys in other divisions — kindergarten, fourth grade, and eighth grade — who have used their “Courage, Honor, and Truth” to meet the milestone of finishing one division and preparing to take their strengths and hopes on to the next one. As we close this academic year, we honor all students, faculty, and staff who have dedicated themselves to the betterment of self and others. As we look to summer, we encourage all to spend some time honoring yourselves. The more flexible schedule of summer can provide welcome time to practice healthy habits around sleep, technology, and exercise and to find hours to dedicate to work or hobbies that give us each a sense of purpose and passion. Thank you for your support of The Brunswick Trust. Congratulations and enjoy the summer!
Character & Leadership
“W
ho or what should Brunswick boys be? What qualities and traits should they embody?”
Such were the questions that Lower School Head Katie Signer posed as the Brunswick community came together last fall to kick off the 2022-23 school year; the Lower School always raises a theme as it convenes for another year of teaching and learning, and boys were tasked with thinking through ways “To Be” a Brunswick boy. Just in time for the final weeks of school and the days that can sometimes bring extra energy along with
spring sunshine, fourth grade character ambassadors have an answer. “Be a Beacon.” It was a message ambassadors brought to classrooms in early April. For their fifth visit of the year, fourth grade character leaders worked to convey the characteristics of good leaders as they also introduced the “Beacon Board” — a public celebration of boys who get “caught” doing the right thing in the classroom, the lunchroom, and the playground. continued on page 2
