The Winter Solstice is my favorite event at GUS. Every year, my heart dances with joy as our school family comes together to celebrate this special day. How reassuring it is to know, even when the nights feel long and the world is cloaked in darkness, brighter days are just around the corner.
Read MoreBefore we gather with loved ones during this season of reflection and gratitude, let’s take a moment to be grateful for GUS.
Read MoreOur first Tartan of the year. How I love the Tartan as a metaphor for GUS! The idea of individual threads coming together to create something special certainly rings true here on campus - and in this newsletter!
Read MoreI love a clean slate, a blank page, a white canvas. I like do-overs and mulligans. I believe we learn from doing, mistakes included, and as a result, we become better. I love September and the start of school because it is a chance to do it all again, but better!
Read MoreCue the Duck Boats! While there has been a lot to celebrate in Boston these last few weeks, here at GUS we have also been celebrating. The Graduation Exercises for the Class of 2024 were wonderful, as we gathered on Bartlett Field, our green and shady place.

The Class of 2024 took one giant step closer to graduation with the completion of an amazing Arts Night.

Read MoreAs we enter the final stretch of the calendar year, with the winter solstice fast approaching, it is time to reflect on gratitude and community. Gratitude, it has been said, is the key that unlocks a happier and more fulfilling life. It allows us to acknowledge the abundance that surrounds us and fosters a positive outlook.
Read MoreOne of the wonderful things about our new mission statement is that it begins with ‘through the joys of learning.’ In early drafts that part had been at the end, and at the suggestion of our faculty, we moved it to the front. That change felt so right! Here at GUS, we always lead with joy and that has certainly been true this fall.
