What an incredibly inspiring and fruitful year this has been! A year during which we were able to begin regathering in many of our spaces.
The 2020-2021 year was a period of communal effort and steady commitment to Fund the Future of our beloved school with the renovation of our Lower School cellar at the center of our Steiner Annual Fund campaign. The 2021-2022 year was one of harvesting of our collective investment, with the renovation completed in April 2022 to everyone’s delight.
Still bound by certain health and safety restrictions, in late April of 2022 we hosted an intimate ribbon-cutting ceremony with all colleagues to formally inaugurate our new Dining Hall.
Soon after the Kitchen Team was preparing lunch from our very own newly renovated space and we started inviting students in Grades 4-12 in a gradual and caring manner, one grade at a time. We have renamed the cafeteria our Dining Hall to denote a re-imagined way of sharing our daily lunch through a family-style experience.
We hosted our inaugural tour on Friday, May 20 at 8:30 AM with a delicious breakfast and the opportunity to hear directly from the architectural masterminds behind the project – Elena and Kevin Cannon of Cannon Architecture Studio, active parents in our Steiner community.
Children, faculty and staff alike have been enjoying the space since its inauguration and we look forward to many more opportunities for social gathering in the year to come.
Our deepest gratitude to all who through their generous contributions made it possible for our community to enjoy this beautiful, renewed place.
In partnership,
Gabriela Cordo, School Administrator
