Letter from the Principal:

Dear SPE Families,

I hope you all enjoy the long weekend. It was such a pleasure this week celebrating kindness and appreciation for Valentine’s day. I had a number of very sweet secret messages of kindness from students left on my desk, so I want to say thank you to each and every student who honored me with such a cute message.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are really appreciating Mr. Harris working with the teachers to add in PE to our school day. Our teachers are excited to utilize Mr. Harris’s planning and lesson delivery and the kids are really excited to benefit from the PE lessons. I want to acknowledge our entire team for their flexibility in making this happen. It is no small feat to add this in mid year with our classroom and school routines already in place, yet they did so with admirable professionalism.

I want to end with a special shout out to our School Resource Officers, Jon Dragoon and Jeff Coffman. Officer Dragoon was kind enough to speak at our PTO general meeting and Officer Coffman has been teaching DARE to our 5th graders. Thursday was School Resource Officer Appreciation day so I want to acknowledge their contribution and I am personally honored to work alongside such great officers.

As always, travel safely because you and your kids are important to us!

Take care,

Brian Kissell

Principal
