On August 30, our dear Mrs. Patricia Cleary, Hamilton House receptionist for 49 years, turned 94 years old. She received flowers, cards, cake, and many hugs from the faculty and staff. Mrs. Cleary still comes to work every day at Stone Ridge from 12:00-3:00pm, and she always has a smile and a story to share. The school posted birthday wishes for Mrs. Cleary on Facebook and in less than 24 hours, the post has reached 10,395 people, been liked/loved/wowed 449 times, and received 45 comments—she truly is a most beloved member of our community!
As the Lower School students sing to celebrate each other: "Bless her and keep her, 'til the year shall end; Father in heaven, bless our birthday friend!"
