Community
graciously welcomes evacuees with open
hearts, minds
On the first assembly of the year,
Head of School Scott Griggs spoke to
Upper School students about the
importance of this year’s theme,
community. Ironically, the theme
undertook a new meaning just days later,
when students, displaced as a result of
Hurricane Katrina, applied to Greenhill.
Many of the students have come to the
city with little other than a change of
clothes and a few possessions. In the
past weeks, they have had to adjust to a
new home, school, classmates, and
clothes. Yet, in light of their
misfortune, the temporary visiting
students have maintained a positive
attitude, and are already vastly
contributing to the community. In just a
few weeks, they are already becoming
vocal leaders in the classrooms,
contributing to the fine arts, and
having a visible impact on the playing
field.
