As we approach the Thanksgiving break, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. This time of year is a reminder of the many blessings we share. It’s important to pause and appreciate the efforts of everyone who makes our school such a special place.To our students, thank you for your hard work, curiosity, and the joy you bring to our classrooms daily. To our dedicated teachers and staff, your commitment to nurturing and guiding our students is truly inspiring, and we are grateful for your continued passion and care. And to our families, thank you for your unwavering support and for partnering with us to help our students grow and succeed. As we take this time to relax and recharge, may we reflect on the many things we are thankful for and come back refreshed, ready to continue the journey together.
I have asked our staff to unplug and recharge. They will put away messages on their email accounts and respond to any issues or concerns when they return on Monday, December 2nd. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
