National Good Neighbor Month: Practicing Virtue in Our Community

Dear Aristoi Families,

September is National Good Neighbor Month, and neighbors are vital connections in our community. September 28th is the annual day dedicated to promoting neighborliness and kindness toward the people who surround us. As a school community, this is a wonderful opportunity to practice the virtue of respect toward our neighbors. 

One practical way to do this is by being considerate of the neighbors close to our campus. In particular, we would like to ask our walkers to refrain from loitering on the property across Morton Road, opposite to our marquee. We have noticed Aristoi students playing on the driveway and the lawn there, and we want to ensure we are respecting our neighbors’ space. 



Thank you very much for your cooperation in helping us build a culture of respect and neighborliness. 



Cordially,

Dr. Claudiu Cimpean

Head of Logic & Rhetoric Schools

Doug Thompson

Dean of Students
