CFOO Sisi Kamal& I have spent the last six yrs working to convert 3 townhouses into 1 cohesive school building, which opened on Monday!
This is my final Tweet. I will be joining Friends Seminary on Instagram. Look for “Bo’s Eye” in that feed.

Lotus blossom on the terrace @FriendsSeminary is a harbinger of good luck. The small reflecting pool is the anchor of the quiet, meditative “room” on the terrace.
Wall installation in new building gift of the artist, former @FriendsSeminary parent @liamgillick we should all pay attention!! Grateful to the artist for this reminder about the balance of life.
The front courtyards have been combined to create a capacious area for seating and greenery @FriendsSeminary community + green sustainability + access.
Fence finished. Just awaiting gates. New main entry for upper school @FriendsSeminary zoom in to see the actual building set back from the facade.
We note with sadness the passing of Toni Morrison whose books have often been taught in our classrooms @FriendsSeminary through the years.
These doors will be welcoming people into our new Upper School @friendsseminary sooner than we think!!
Progress continues as the replicated historic fence is installed @FriendsSeminary
Trying to keep plants on the new terrace @FriendsSeminary alive during last week’s heat wave!

The terrace @FriendsSeminary is taking shape and will include a small reflecting pool in an area (or room) reserved for quiet.
Benches in the Great Room are designed to be a contemporary “echo” of benches in the Meetinghouse @FriendsSeminary
And meanwhile, on the back side of the building @FriendsSeminary the new terrace is being planted. Plantings divide the large space into different “rooms,” eating, chatting, silent contemplation. I can’t wait!
Facade prep and front garden are priorities this week @FriendsSeminary I’m really pleased at are expansiveness of the combined front gardens!!!
