“Once there was a tree,
and she loved a little boy.”
- Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree
On my daily walk around the campus, I
came across a scene that filled me with
delight: A bunch of preschoolers [Class
of 2026!] sat at the foot of IC’s landmark
Banyan tree, in the company of their
teacher. She was reading Shel Silverstein’s
classic story The Giving Tree! To com-
plete the moment, I saw that the teacher
was an alumna of IC, Rasha Fakhreddin,
Class of 2006. A perfect picture of IC
students past and present, under IC’s
signature tree, that has provided shade
and more to many, reading about giving!
There, in the shade of that old Banyan
tree, the IC Spirit bloomed.
“Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest.”
And the boy did.
And the tree was happy.”
