The showcase-building from our successful capital campaign has completely changed how we live and work at St. Margaret's School. Ai Akahori, of Tokyo, Japan, enjoys a bagel one morning before class. The best seats are in the riverfront corner on the side by the pool. The sun comes slowly over the horizon and casts the pale yellow walls golden in first light.
Breakfast is required for all students except seniors.
As the girls come in, some ready for the day and some just barely opening their eyes, they are greeted by a faculty member sitting at one of the large round tables with the morning sign-in sheet. Breakfast is also a family affair now that we have opened morning and evening meals to all faculty families, resident and day. With the Aylett Country Day School bus stop in front of the gym, St. Margaret's is a great spot for a quick breakfast with no clean up before parents and children go their seperate ways. The only sounds are the rattle of dishes as the kitchen staff cleans up. Everyone else has headed for chapel or announcements in St. Margaret's Hall.
