Hello Phenix Firebirds!
News from the Nest for August 2025

Welcome Back!
Welcome Back to Phenix Elementary!
Dear Phenix Families,
I am excited to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year! Whether you are returning to our Phenix community or joining us for the first time, I look forward to partnering with you to make this year one of growth, discovery, and joy for your child. Our dedicated staff has been preparing engaging learning experiences and creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired. Together, we will continue to nurture a love of learning, celebrate individual strengths, and build a strong school community.
As Nelson Mandela wisely shared, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Each new August reminds us that every student carries the potential to shine brightly, and like our Firebirds, they rise each day with courage, creativity, and purpose.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education—I know it will be a wonderful year ahead at Phenix Elementary.
With gratitude and excitement,
Daniel T. Richardson, Principal

Monthly Inspiration
August Echoes
The summer's hum begins to fade,
A gentle whisper, unafraid.
Of autumn's touch, a subtle shift,
As goldenrod begins to lift.
The sun still shines, but softer now,
A peaceful pause, a quiet vow.
To cherish moments, small and sweet,
Before the turning of the street.
Let go of what no longer serves,
And find new strength that truly swerves
Towards a future, bright and bold,
A story waiting to unfold.
