What advice do you give kids about school?
Principal Mary Conroy: The best advice is to look for ways they can
challenge themselves to try something new, or find new friends to play
with, or try something that's on the edge of their understanding that they
want to get their toes into. Try new things. Be fearless.
What would surprise parents the most about school today?
Mary Conroy: There is more of an emphasis on thinking and learning to
adapt to new situations, to develop the resiliency we need to understand
life's challenges and life's problems.
