@ScottHech So proud of you and that you are teaching. Keep up the hard work!! (I pretty much have abandoned Twitter but happened to see this and wanted to say hello!)

@MatthewSchneier Matt: I loved this piece. I remember the pink hair and dark sunglasses (?). I’m holding your father in the Light. It’s nice to hear your voice through your words. And we share the same favorite poet.

CFOO Sisi Kamal& I have spent the last six yrs working to convert 3 townhouses into 1 cohesive school building, which opened on Monday!
This is my final Tweet. I will be joining Friends Seminary on Instagram. Look for “Bo’s Eye” in that feed.

Lotus blossom on the terrace ⁦@FriendsSeminary⁩ is a harbinger of good luck. The small reflecting pool is the anchor of the quiet, meditative “room” on the terrace.

Wall installation ⁦in new building gift of the artist, former ⁦@FriendsSeminary⁩ parent ⁦⁦@liamgillick⁩ we should all pay attention!! Grateful to the artist for this reminder about the balance of life.

The front courtyards have been combined to create a capacious area for seating and greenery ⁦@FriendsSeminary⁩ community + green sustainability + access.

Fence finished. Just awaiting gates. New main entry for upper school ⁦@FriendsSeminary⁩ zoom in to see the actual building set back from the facade.

We note with sadness the passing of Toni Morrison whose books have often been taught in our classrooms @FriendsSeminary through the years.

The terrace ⁦@FriendsSeminary⁩ is taking shape and will include a small reflecting pool in an area (or room) reserved for quiet.

[Principal Bo Lauder @BoLauder]

Benches in the Great Room are designed to be a contemporary “echo” of benches in the Meetinghouse ⁦@FriendsSeminary⁩

Miles, ‘09, one of the top five student musicians I’ve ever seen (or heard).

[Miles Francis @instamiles]

always keeping me on my toes @butlerwills

[Principal Bo Lauder @BoLauder]

@instamiles @butlerwills Glad to see you back on drums!!

[Principal Bo Lauder @BoLauder]

And meanwhile, on the back side of the building ⁦@FriendsSeminary⁩ the new terrace is being planted. Plantings divide the large space into different “rooms,” eating, chatting, silent contemplation. I can’t wait!
