As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt gratitude for all you do on behalf of our students. I am also deeply appreciative of the warm welcome and support you have shown me since my arrival on January 4, 2025.

This time of year invites us to pause, reflect, and recognize the many things for which we are thankful. It also reaffirms the values that guide our work and the vision of our school district: to prepare students for college, career, and life success by cultivating academic excellence through rigorous learning opportunities and experiential experiences, and by promoting creative thinking, problem-solving, and engaged citizenship.

Personally, I am grateful for our students, who come to school each day ready to learn and remind us of the purpose behind our work. I am thankful for our parents and school community, whose partnership and support help create exceptional opportunities for our students. And I am especially appreciative of our dedicated staff, who consistently demonstrate care, commitment, and an unwavering focus on what is best for children. Your efforts inspire me every day, and I am truly thankful for the work you do to ensure all students receive the learning and support they need to thrive.

On behalf of Mrs. Davis and Mr. Johnston, I wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and relaxing Thanksgiving break. I hope the time away allows you to enjoy family, close friends, and good food. For our students and families, may this well-deserved pause bring rest and renewal as we prepare to finish the first half of the school year strong. And for our staff, may these days provide the rest and reflection you deserve for the tremendous work you do on behalf of our school community.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, December 1, 2025.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Multicultural Student Leadership Conference was born from the recognition that we often call upon high school students to be leaders in our schools, businesses, and communities.

Over eleven years, approximately 2,000 of the Lehigh Valley’s top student leaders received leadership training at the Conference.

These students were exposed to motivational speakers, impactful workshops, comprehensive panels, networking opportunities, and college and career fairs.

On January 17, 2026, the Conference will once again host 150 high school student leaders from over twenty different high schools.

The deadline to register is Saturday, December 20, 2025 - the registration application is on the last page of the attached document.

Caron Transformational Care, located in Wernersville, Pennsylvania, partners with the Saucon Valley School District to provide resources to our students and their families.

Caron’s Education Alliance is a leader in Student Assistance Programming (SAP) for alcohol, tobacco, and drug prevention programs and services.

By partnering with schools, families, communities, and other organizations, Caron’s Education Alliance team educates and informs 130,000+ students, professionals, and caregivers each year.

Attached is the E-Prevention Platform postcard.

The postcard provides access to comprehensive resources and information based on the age of the student in need of assistance.
