Principal's Message
Dear Van Wert Families,
This week, we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, an opportunity to recognize the incredible educators who serve your children each day.
Our teachers do far more than deliver instruction. They create classrooms where students feel safe, supported, and challenged to grow. They invest time, energy, and care into helping each child build confidence, develop skills, and reach their full potential.
The success of our school is a direct result of their dedication and commitment to students. We are fortunate to have a team that consistently goes above and beyond for your children.
I encourage you to join us in showing appreciation this week, whether through a kind note, a message, or simply taking a moment to thank a teacher who has made a difference.
Thank you for your continued support of our school and for partnering with us to ensure the success of every student.
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
Principal
