I am incredibly grateful to lead such an amazing learning community. Our students, families, and staff are the best around and I am so proud of the work we are doing together. Our goals this school year are to maintain a safe and joyful environment and see improved student outcomes on multiple measures. We appreciate your partnership and support. Should you have any concerns or need anything at all, do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Students will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Tuesday, February 14th at 1:45pm. Classes will have a snack, games, and a craft with the support of PTA volunteers. Please remember there is no outside food allowed on this day. If your student is not to participate, please notify their teacher. An alternate activity will be provided.

We want to thank our family representatives who are participating in our principal's advisory committee. In the upcoming months, there will be many opportunities for all of us to connect and work together on some exciting tasks. Things to look forward to:

• Celebration of Black History: Enjoy the activities and take advantage of volunteer opportunities.
• 5Essential Survey Drive: We want to hear from all of our families!
• Spring Beautification: We've got our eye on a garden refresh and artistically bringing to life our front circle area.
• Step-Up Activities: Preparing for transitions takes teamwork!
