Dear RAUC Families,
As I do each year, I offer the following wishes as we head into the Thanksgiving break: May everyone have a safe and happy holiday. May we find joy in the company of family and friends. May membership in our diverse and beautiful RAUC community be a comfort to those for whom holidays can be difficult times.
Part of being a diverse community includes acknowledging that we do not all share the same experience. For many with Native American origin, the Thanksgiving story as traditionally told can be a painful reminder of historic and current injustices. What brings us together is the commonality of giving thanks, no matter our culture. In that spirit of universal thanksgiving, I am thankful to be in a community that aims for an inclusive, compassionate ideal and that is willing to reflect when we fall short so we can recommit to that ideal.
With gratitude,
Julie Craven, Head of School
