Dear Horizon Leadership Academy Family,
As December welcomes us, we have so much to celebrate and anticipate at Horizon Academy. The move to our new building in the last week of November marks a new chapter in our journey, one filled with promise and excitement. Our state-of-the-art facilities are a testament to our commitment to providing the best learning environment for our students.
We're brimming with pride as we celebrate the exceptional achievements of our students in the Bebras Coding Competition. Our 9th grader, Sebnem Cizmeci, secured a top 10% score and earned the 'Best School' certificate for Horizon Leadership Academy. Furthermore, four of our students have made us proud by achieving scores in the top 15%, receiving Honor Roll accolades. A heartfelt thank you to these students for showcasing the strength of our computer science program. Your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring!
Our academic rigor continues to shine as we eagerly await the results of the MAP tests administered last week. These scores will be a valuable measure of our students' progress and will help tailor our educational strategies moving forward.
December is bustling with activities. The Scripps National Spelling Bee on the 6th promises to showcase the linguistic talents of our students. Following closely is our Science Fair on the 11th, where scientific inquiry and innovation take center stage.
As we approach the year's end, our students will be demonstrating their knowledge during finals from December 18th to 22nd. We encourage our students to prepare thoroughly, balance study with rest, and enter this period with confidence.
Lastly, the winter break from December 24th to January 8th offers a well-deserved respite for our students, staff, and families. It's a time for relaxation, reflection, and rejuvenation.
Together, we are building a community of lifelong learners and leaders. Thank you for being an integral part of our Horizon Academy family. Wishing everyone a delightful December and a joyful holiday season!
With warm regards,
Mustafa Kirsan
Principal of Horizon Leadership Academy
