Back to School Newsletter from Amy

Dear Brick Family,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year! It is hard to believe that we are now in our sixth week of classes. To protect the health and safety of our community, we still have a number of pandemic-related precautions in place, but we have been able to take many exciting steps forward as we adapt to today’s changing circumstances.

This year, the children are now able to move throughout the building. Students have returned to the Art Studio and the Music Room for in-person specials, and we are able to hold Chapel in the Sanctuary with Revs. Evans, Gorman, and Unzaga each week. We have also restarted our Library program and are teaching Spanish in the classrooms. Getting back to in-person learning in all of Brick’s beautiful spaces is a huge win for our students and teachers.

Even parents and caregivers have been able to return to 92nd Street. Families have been invited back into the building for Orientation and various fellowship opportunities – from coffees to book clubs – in the Brick Garden.

Each one of these steps towards normalcy has been taken thoughtfully and brings us such joy. I invite you to learn more about what our students have been up to this year through the pictures below.

Warmly,

Amy Warden

Director of The Brick Church School
