Class of 08 Gives Record-setting Gift to Library, Upper School


Upper School students and faculty arrived to a treat this rainy morning - the most generous Senior Class gift in the history of the school. The two new cars, placed in the library and breezeway, will be auctioned this afternoon. Proceeds will benefit the US Master-Planned library and financial aid budgets. Said DA Security Chief Larry Isaacs, "Given the speed with which we can get a quick title switch on these vehicles, this donation will start helping the school almost immediately." Added English teacher Jordan Adair: "This is a testament to the creativity and hard work of my seniors, who I feel sure will demonstrate similar ingenuity and effort as they finish my senior elective course." Librarian Asta Smith was particularly grateful for the gift. "We've been struggling to provide quiet study spaces for students all year long. Between now and the auction, we'll be using the vehicle as a quiet study carrel for 1-4 students." To say congratulations and thanks to the Seniors for their clever surprise, the Upper School faculty has decided to excuse them from classes today. Here's to a relaxing day!
