Stratford Caldecott Memorial Scholarships

Once again our students have done us proud! I hope all our readers and award winners will be inspired to read more of Caldecott’s work. His book Beauty for Truth’s Sake is on my must-read list for educators. His Radiance of Being is scheduled for discussion on August 14, and you can see my review that appeared in St. Austin Review here. Congratulations to all these wonderful students!
