As the autumn leaves paint the world in hues of go

As the autumn leaves paint the world in hues of gold and crimson, I wish this season finds you and your loved ones filled with happiness, good health, and the readiness to embrace each new day with mindfulness and joy. 🍂
Last week at the Harvard-Westlake State of the School Address, President Rick Common shared three powerful "summer epiphanies" guiding us this year: Embrace connection, Reserve Judgment, and Lead With Love. 💖
Rick tied these three insights together by saying we are transitioning from pursuing external success to prioritizing student mental health and relationships – climbing a metaphorical “second mountain” as a school community.
Rick sees Harvard Westlake on this journey as we place our students’ well-being at the center of our mission. There are sure to be challenges ahead, but also hope as we nurture connections between our students, families, and staff -- in our entire beloved Harvard-Westlake community. 💛
I hope we climb this second mountain together through empathy, gratitude, and care. 🤝
May you and your family embrace connection, reserve judgment, and lead with love and joy as we climb our second mountain. Mountain 🏔️

What an incredible week it's been! From the excite

What an incredible week it's been! From the excitement of Sophomore Orientation to the nostalgia of Back to School Day and the warmth of the Senior Ceremony. We also had our very own Mindfulness Club kick-off and the profound workshop, "How Do I Know When to Worry," led by Cheryl Karp Eskin. ✨
The common thread weaving through all these experiences is the beauty of mindfulness and the magic of being fully present, not just for our kids, but for ourselves too.
Beth Slattery, the Head of Upper School, advises that "Don't come in hot", especially when talking with our kids, or to anyone for that matter.
But before curiosity can truly take root, we must start with compassion for ourselves. It's a gentle reminder, like placing your hand on your heart and saying one of my favorite mantras that I've learned: 'I care about this suffering.' 💕
Remember, you're not alone in this journey. We all face challenges, and together, we can find the beauty in mindfulness and compassion. 🤝
