Hawthorn Ties Newsletter – January 2010
 
School Head’s Message

By Eliza Trotter

We’ve now finished the first term of our 20th anniversary year – it flew by so quickly! In the special newsletter we usually summarize the fall activities; this time the emphasis is on one of Hawthorn’s key elements. When the school began, the founding parents established a character education program, giving it equal importance to the curriculum. At the time, Hawthorn’s approach was revolutionary; no other school took this approach. The founders clearly saw that “what one knows” is not nearly as important as “who one is” and they developed a program that would foster character in the girls, always working in unity with the parents. In the task of developing character, one of the most important virtues is shown by giving oneself to others. We can call this virtue by many names: spirit of service, generosity, or even social outreach, but it all comes down to two points – we are most fully human when we give ourselves for others, and that the “other” whom we assist has dignity as a child of God (as do we). continued below
