Every spring, our school is visited by a very special guest—our annual resident duck. Like clockwork, she returns to the courtyard to build her nest and carefully lay her eggs, settling in as she patiently waits for them to hatch. Students and staff alike look forward to her arrival, watching from a respectful distance as she tends to her future family.
When the long-awaited day finally comes and the ducklings begin to hatch, the excitement spreads throughout the school. In a small but meaningful tradition, we open the courtyard doors to give the new family a safe path forward. One by one, the tiny ducklings waddle behind their mother as she leads them out of the courtyard and into the nearby woods—marking the start of their journey and a heartwarming moment our school community cherishes each year.
