Happy THANKS giving!

Here are some reflections on our school on this Thanksgiving Holiday. At Channing Hall we have a lot to give thanks for!

We give thanks to the founding parents turned board members who have had the vision and audacity to take the risk of starting this school.

We give thanks for our Head of School who believed in the IB vision of the board to dedicate herself to setting up the school and hiring exceptional staff and teachers.

We give thanks to the administrative staff who fully support the Head of School and work tirelessly behind the scenes to develop and implement the IB philosophy and provide a safe sound learning atmosphere in our school.

We give thanks to our teachers and aids who from the start worked together to integrate a novel curriculum and philosophy with a positive attitude and can-do spirit.

We give thanks to our students who step up to the challenges we offer them and who give us a unifying goal to strive for.

We give thanks to our parents who give the extra effort of helping with homework, volunteering, donating and ultimately loving our students to want the best for them.

In a few short years we have ALL worked TOGETHER to develop a school from just an inspiration in a few parents to a top achieving school that continues to grow wonderful students preparing for an international future.

WE GIVE THANKS TO THE WHOLE CHANNING HALL FAMILY!

FIRST GRADERS SING "GOD BLESS THE USA"
