Steve, Kingsley is a warmer, happier place to both work and play because of you. I have loved seeing you down on the floor with the kids, enjoying their games as much as they do. The joy you receive from the kids is transferred to everyone who works here.
Best of luck, and please let us know how to stay in touch with you. I will really miss you!
Warmly,
Roberta

I want to thank you for the impact you’ve had on our school community. Two of Emma’s happiest memories here were the two times she served as Head of School with you. Those experiences meant so much to her and to us. Your leadership and kindness have helped shape this school in ways that will be felt for years to come. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter.
