Magi Messenger: January 13, 2025
Greetings Families, Staff, and Community Members,
This Magi Messenger may feel a little lighter than usual—last semester kept us incredibly busy (you probably noticed! 😅). As we dive into the new year, our calendar is a bit quieter, empowering our teachers and staff to focus on academics. We'll continue our focus on growing and learning as we build on the progress our students have had. If you have thoughts about your student’s programming or how the new year of learning is shaping up, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Principal Braman or Principal Wielenga or I.
I wanted to share a special moment from the start of our break. That Saturday morning, just after break began, I visited the Legion, where some students were eagerly waiting to meet Santa and then realized Mr. Dooley’s Elementary Basketball Camp was happening so I stopped by to check it out... lots of activity. While Mr. Dooley, Coach Sanders, and amazing student volunteers were teaching basketball skills, the star in the eyes of our younger students may have been elementary Art & Music Teacher Ms. Brigham, who was sharing her basketball skills with a large group of CES students—it was such a heartwarming scene to start the break. I hope you and your families experienced similar heartwarming moments.
Happy 2025, Magi Families!
Dr. Kowalski, Superintendent
