About the Author:

Sean Huang is a proud Kirby Parent (Averie '23 and Aden '26) and a freshly-minted member of the Board of Trustees.

GIVING BACK

Our family strives to be generous towards the various activities in which my kids have been
involved, and I have been aspiring to be more active in my community. Given how much Kirby
is part of our kids’ lives, and given all the new experiences the kids have gained from Kirby,
when the opportunity to take on a role at the school came up, we eagerly wanted to make the
commitment.

ROLE MODELING

Being involved at the school is helping me to actually model the behavior that I have been
promoting to my kids. We aspire for our kids to actively participate and engage with their
community. I now detect much less eye-rolls than there used to be from our kids when I ask
them to participate and contribute more in their classes and activities. In fact, they talk a lot
more about their school days when we are also part of the school with them.

ALL HANDS ON DECK

There is a lot that goes into making Kirby the school that it is. Our teachers and administrators
give so much of themselves to make Kirby unique and great, but they and our kids need our
help as parents. And let’s get real. We are a small school, and since the pandemic, we are
now smaller than intended. So if not us, then who? And now we are proud to be among the
many active families helping the school!
