Dear Staff, Students, and Families,

 

As we approach the holiday season, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your contributions to our school community. Together, we have accomplished so much this year, and I am excited to reflect on a few of the highlights that make our school a truly special place.

 

We are proud to share the news of our well-developed rating on the quality review! This recognition reflects the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of our staff, students, and families. It is a testament to our commitment to fostering a supportive and academically enriching environment for all.

 

This year, our Spirit Week was a huge success! It was incredible to see students and staff come together, showcasing their creativity, enthusiasm, and school pride. From themed outfits to friendly competitions, the energy and sense of community were truly inspiring.

 

Our Family Fun Nights and Parent Days in the Classroom have been another highlight of our year. These events brought us together to celebrate learning, build connections, and create lasting memories. The participation and engagement from families have been overwhelming, and we look forward to continuing these meaningful traditions.

 

As we head into the holiday break, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with loved ones. Whether you are celebrating, reflecting, or simply relaxing, may your holiday season be filled with joy, good health, and happiness.

Thank you for being an integral part of our vibrant school community. We look forward to an exciting and productive new year ahead!

 

Warmest wishes,

 

Jamie, Stacy, John, Mary, Laura

As we embrace the beauty of fall, we are reminded of the power of transformation and renewal.  Just as the leaves change their colors and gracefully fall to the ground, this season encourages us to reflect on our own journeys and the growth we experience along the way. Thank you for your collaboration and the great work we continue to do.  This is something we are truly thankful for this season! 

​

Respectfully,
