A Message from the Headmaster

Dear Archway Trivium Families,

Today we celebrated Friendship Day, and it was great! My part in the celebration was to share a story with each grade and introduce our friendship bench. In our K-1 assembly, I told an old fable from India about a stag, a crow, and a jackal. Second a third grades heard of the friendship of Damon and Pythias in ancient Greece, while fourth and fifth graders heard The House by the Side of the Road. It was truly a joy to share these beautiful pieces and to connect with our scholars through them. I got to experience a little of what our teachers experience daily as they share their beautifully prepared lessons.



At the grade level, our scholars wrote notes to each other, demonstrated gratitude, provided service, and engaged in seminar, among other activities. It was an elevated and lovely time of joy in learning. Within the western tradition, friendship holds a special place. Stories of devotion in friendship span from Achilles’ connection with Patroclus in the face of mortal combat to the more convivial farm where Wilbur met Fern and Charlotte. About half of the pages on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics are dedicated to friendship. Thinkers both ancient and modern have understood that we cannot live in virtue while in isolation. We need each other. Please start your weekend well by taking some time to ask your child about his or her experience today.

Heartily Devoted,

Clay Scott, Ed.D.

Headmaster
