A Note from Mr. Ryan
A Note from Mr. Ryan
Dear Upper School Families,
As another school year comes to a close, I must share how much of a privilege it continues to be to serve in this amazing learning community. Our students have achieved so much, growing and learning as they engaged across the various elements of our program. However, there is a corresponding reality as well: we, the adults, have learned so much from them, and our community has grown beyond what we could have anticipated. The impact of student voice and engagement on our program shows up in amazing and sometimes surprising ways. I am so proud of what we have accomplished together, and I am excited to do it all over again next year.
As a final note of gratitude, I want to acknowledge the good, hard work of our faculty and staff as they sought to support and challenge our students this year. They demonstrated clearly that deep care and high expectations are not in conflict, but are instead evidence of our faith in what students can accomplish. I also want to thank you, our families, who have shown tremendous support throughout the year. Our partnership is key to the fulfillment of our mission, and this year would not have been successful without your help.
All of us here in the Upper School wish you and your families a happy and healthy summer. We hope our students find joy and purposeful engagement over the summer, and that they return to us ready to be and become the best version of themselves.
Yours in partnership,
Kris

INTERNATIONAL TRIPS
Italy Trip - June 2027
Shipley’s Latin Department and Global Programs are working on a proposed trip to Italy in June 2027 (tentative dates: June 13-21). The trip offers students an extraordinary opportunity to experience firsthand many of the important sites, monuments, and artifacts that survive from Roman antiquity, while also learning about modern Italian culture. Highlights include: Cumae, Pompeii, Naples, the Roman Forum, Colosseum, Capitoline Museum, Vatican City, the Borghese Gallery, and others. This trip will be open to all Upper School students, with a preference for those who have studied Latin or ancient history. More information about registering will be provided at the beginning of next school year. Any questions can be directed to Matt Wellenbach (mwellenbach@shipleyschool.org).
