APRIL 2024 | The Official Newsletter of Ivy Global School

Dear Valued Students, Parents and Colleagues,

As the sun began its routine ascent in the sky, words of excitement fluttered through the news stations. The time had finally come for the rare Solar Eclipse to grace my Massachusetts city. Even though I was not fully located in the path of totality, the sky darkened, a chill came over the air and nature became silent.

This event reminded me of the incredible beauty of our world and undeniable powers of our Universe. The ebb-and-flow of daily life and the events unfolding around us are there for the taking as a learning experiences for all.

At Ivy Global School we constantly aim to connect the flowing world into our classrooms. It is important that we all remember that learning is more than just books, studying and test scores. Learning is in our experiences.

We must find Science lessons as we explore the wonder and beauty of nature. We must find language grammar and mechanics practice in our daily conversations with friends. We must study History of the past, while witnessing untold historical events unfolding in the now. Learning is process we should aim to deepen as we take in life’s beauty.

Spring has arrived and the end of the school year is near, but let’s not rush to the finish line. Now is the time when we should increase our mindfulness. Take time to find knowledge in the world around you.
