 |  | Honors Convocation 2010
9/3/2010
Dr. Tad Bird, Head of School, "officially" opened the Upper School year with our annual Honors Convocation on Thursday, September 2 in All Saints' Chapel. Josh Giles '11 performed on piano; William O'Connor '11 offered the first Scripture reading and Fr. David Madison '92, Assistant Head of School and Upper School Division Head was the Celebrant. Dr. Bird talked of how being a student at All Saints' is a privilege and not a right, and that he expects students to work hard and achieve well in the upcoming year. He also stressed that "...we are called - despite our differences of opinion, our size, our color, our perspectives - to treat others as we expect to be treated; or as historian and theologian, Karen Armstrong has suggested, the original meaning of this was to do no harm to others."
