St. Michael's School

Please join us in thanking Mr. Brendan Sullivan for his faithful service as Head of School at St. Michael’s from 2018-2026.

We are profoundly grateful for Brendan’s stewardship and for the many ways he has shaped the life of this school community.
His leadership leaves a lasting imprint on St. Michael’s — not only through programs and initiatives, but through the strong sense of community and belonging that students, families, faculty, and alumni will continue to carry with them long after their time at the school.

We offer our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Sullivan and wish him and his family every blessing in the chapters ahead.

Thank you, Mr. Sullivan!

“I am a scientist because I have a lot of questions and I want to answer my questions.”
“I am a scientist because I have ideas all the time!”
“I want to know how the world works.”

This is what science education should sound like in elementary school. 💛🔬

Not memorizing facts.
Not filling in worksheets.
Wondering. Building. Questioning. Creating.

When children begin to see themselves as scientists, something powerful happens. They stop waiting for permission to explore the world. They realize science isn’t a subject reserved for a few people in lab coats — it’s curiosity in action.

And honestly? Their drawings say it all:
🚀 rockets
🧪 experiments
♻️ inventions from “trash”
💡 big ideas
❓ even bigger questions

One student wrote:
“I am a scientist because I am awesome.”

Exactly.

The goal isn’t just teaching science.
It’s helping children develop an identity as thinkers, creators, problem-solvers, and question-askers from the very beginning.

This is molecular literacy.
This is scientific literacy.
This is confidence.

And it starts young. 🌎✨
