As we close out the school year, I want to take a moment to thank YOU—from the bottom of my heart—for the trust, support, and partnership you’ve shown this year. This was my first year as principal at Zitzman Elementary, and it’s been a year full of growth, learning, and meaningful connection.
Even in my sixth year of school leadership, this year brought many firsts. Through every celebration, challenge, and breakthrough, one thing remained clear: raising and educating a child takes a true team effort.
We’ve worked intentionally to build a strong bridge between home and school. I’m proud of the trust and open communication we’ve built together, and I’m grateful for the grace and support you’ve extended along the way. You’ve welcomed me into this school community with open arms, and I am honored and privileged to walk alongside you in supporting every single Zitzman student—and their families as a whole.
At Zitzman, we believe in putting in the work, the heart, and the time because every child matters. And thanks to your partnership, we’ve continued to root ourselves in our shared values and rise together to help our kids grow, learn, and shine.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I’m so excited for what lies ahead, and I can’t wait to continue growing together in the years to come.
Leading & Learning with a smile,
Dr. Sladek
