IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL SILVERMAN!! PLEASE READ…

An open letter to the Christa McAuliffe Community:

I have received several emails and calls regarding our dress code and the incorrect assumption that our school does not support the military. To be clear, we have the utmost respect for those who serve in the military and our school has a track record of supporting active soldiers. The news outlets sensationalized a misunderstanding we had with a student about our dress code on the first day of school. Please know that we never banned the Navy brand or any other military brand from school. The conversation we had with the student had to do with our dress code and nothing to do with the content or message. Unfortunately, the news was not interested in all of the facts. Moving forward, I will work with parents and students to improve the school’s dress code and communicate it effectively so we do not have any further unfortunate misunderstandings.

As a school, we are proud of our support for active soldiers. For example, last school year we organized a collection of food and supplies for our troops in Afghanistan. We actually “adopted” a group of soldiers that were stationed there. Over the course of the year, we were able to do four shipments directly to the soldiers. We even had a live Skype session between our students and the soldiers for about an hour. Happily, those troops are returning to the U.S. next month and we are scheduling a live face-to-face meeting with them here at the school. You can read more about it here:

Rest assured that our school has nothing but the utmost respect for our young men and women that serve.

Best regards-
Jeff Silverman, Principal
