Principal’s Corner

As this school year quickly comes to a close, I want to take a moment to say thank you—from the bottom of my heart—for the kindness, and support.

One of the hardest parts of being a principal is saying goodbye, even when it’s the right time to let go.

This year, we celebrate 56 incredible fourth-grade students as they prepare to move up to fifth grade. It has been a true joy and an honor to be their principal. Watching them grow, learn, and lead has been inspiring, and I will miss them deeply.

To the parents and grandparents who have given so generously of their time—thank you. Your dedication has made a lasting impact, not only on your own children, but on all the students here at Whitson Elementary. Your involvement is what makes our school community so special.

To our exceptional staff members who are retiring or moving on to new opportunities—thank you for devoting your lives to shaping young minds and hearts. Your contributions have left an indelible mark, and we will carry your legacy forward.

To all of you—students, families, and staff—thank you for the positive impact you have made on Whitson Elementary School, and on me personally. While we will miss you, we are excited to see what your next chapters hold.

With sincere gratitude,

Go Cubs!

Todd McCauley
Proud Principal, Whitson Elementary
