A Message from the RSGC Guild President

Dear Parents, 
 
A very warm welcome to you all as we begin a new school year together! 
 
This portal is a comprehensive resource for everything helpful to know about the Guild. 
 
To all the families new to our school, we are delighted to have you and your boys join us. We hope you will very soon feel at home in our kind and inclusive community. 
 
It is a great privilege to serve as your Guild President. We are excited for the year ahead, and the many opportunities it will bring for connection and conversation. 
 
As Georgian parents, you are all valued members of the Guild, and the Guild's purpose is to foster parent connections. Throughout the year, we are so pleased to bring our parent community together through coffee mornings, grade socials, monthly Guild meetings with guest speakers, opportunities to volunteer, annual events and festive traditions. Whether you have an hour or several to join us, your participation and presence are always welcomed and appreciated. 
 
Many thanks to our amazing convenors and grade parents for the countless ways they keep us connected, from the annual school-wide events and traditions they beautifully plan and organize, to the grade-specific gatherings they thoughtfully arrange for parents. 
 
We are thrilled to share with you our new monthly newsletter, Guild at a Glance, created to keep you informed about gatherings, monthly Guild meetings, and upcoming events such as Mistletoe Market, Used Uniform Sale, Cheese Sale, Holly Jolly Auction, and much more. Additionally, we share parent contacts you can reach out to with questions about volunteer opportunities and ways to participate. 
 
I am immensely grateful to those who so generously contributed their time, effort, creativity and unique expertise to bring this newsletter to life. It would not exist without them - a very special thanks to Glen Herbert, Gillian Minsky and Marin Anderson. 
 
My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Beatty for his extraordinary support, invaluable guidance, and inspiring leadership.
 
Sincerest thanks to our incredible school administration, faculty and staff for their tireless dedication, and caring support of our boys, and our community. We are extremely grateful.
 
I would like to thank our remarkable Guild Executive - Susan, Aimee, Meredith and Warren - for their wholehearted commitment and wonderful collaboration. Please feel free to contact any of us with questions, ideas, suggestions, or even just to say hello and introduce yourself. We would love to hear from you! 
 
Wishing you and your boys a joyful and memorable school year, and I truly look forward to meeting in person soon. 
 
Warmest wishes,
 
Divya Pai 
Georgian Parents Guild President 2026-27
