“Today is a salute to each of you for your time, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the school’s development and, in the process, forming a warm community, embracing and forever. The camaraderie that comes from many late-night phone calls to find out what exactly your son is supposed to wear the next day and meeting each other in the car park as you furtively bring his forgotten cricket bat, are the shared experiences that hold the Pridwin community of women together.”
