SPRING 2006 • PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL • 3 FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Friends,

As this issue o f the Journal was going to press, I shared with the Princeton Day School community my plans to retire from full-time work at the conclusion of my sixth year at PDS, in June 2007. My years at PDS have been the capstone of my 4 1-year career as an educator. I have come to deeply respect the PDS faculty and admire the widespread support for the School from all members of the PDS community - parents, trustees and students. I am also honored to have led the School through the development of its most recent strategic plan. This important groundwork precipitated our capital campaign, which is raising funds to improve faculty compensation and financial aid, and to expand the library, arts and indoor athletics facilities. I am proud of what we have accomplished together. Indeed, my heartfelt commitment to the PDS community is the reason I shared my plans now. I look forward to working energetically and enthusias­ tically over the next 16 months to achieve our many goals, including a successful conclusion to the capital campaign. This timetable will also enable the Board of Trustees to proceed thoughtfully in the search for a new head o f school. When I do retire, I know I will be leaving PDS in very capable hands. I applaud the Board of Trustees’ plan to bring in former PDS Flead of School Lila Lohr as interim leader for the 2007-08 academic year. A popular and effective head of school from 1995 to 2000, Lila will manage school operations while the trustees conduct a comprehensive search for a permanent leader by the opening of school in September 2008. I genuinely feel blessed by the colleagues and friends I have found at PDS. I hope over the upcoming months you will continue working with me to bolster the sense of pride and depth of caring at PDS. I believe our work here - providing the best education possible to the students in our care - can make the world a better place. I will always cherish my time at Princeton Day School.

Sincerely, \ « J c ^ Judith R. Fox

50 • PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL • SPRING 2006 support of the Fund important?

When I look back at my time at PDS, / see myself as colleague. educator, administrator, friend, and parent. Then as now, the word that immediately comes to mind in describing the essence of PDS is

'community’. Whether during my frequent ‘ walks' through school, participation in Community Council, dressing up for the Halloween parade, supporting the visual and performing arts, or cheering on PDS athletes, it was always very special to be part of and share the day-to-day lives of students.

This year's PDS Annual Fund campaign allows PDS to support its greatest priorities - its faculty and students - by covering costs not covered by tuition alone. Nothing can be more important to our school. I sincerely hope you will join me in being a supporter of the 2005-2006 Annual Fund. a Sandy Bing Former Head of Upper School Co-Chair 2005-2006 PDS Annual Fund res!
