At MA’s Convocation on Tuesday, student leaders participated by leading the pledge of allegiance and issuing prayers of gratitude. Division Heads welcomed students and eagerly excited the audience about the upcoming school year. Head of School, Dave Farace challenged the students, faculty and parents in the audience to care. Here is an excerpt from his speech: “The word, and my challenge to each of you today is CARE. I challenge you to care about ideas and great literature. I challenge you to care about integrity and responsibility. I challenge you to care about your unique self, your heart, and your spiritual growth. And most important, I challenge you to care for others, to build your capacity for kindness and empathy for people outside of your immediate circle of family and close friends. When we talk about developing you into leaders, we are not talking about giving you the tools to get on top, we are talking about embracing and practicing an ethic of caring. I challenge all of you to become leaders of character, eager to use your talents for good. I challenge you to care.” -Head of School, Dave Farace MA Convocation Address
