Dear School Community,
This is our last newsletter of the school year! How do I summarize a year’s worth of learning, growth, progress, and adventure? One word: Pride! I am so proud of all of our students this year. When I reflect back on the first day of school and fast forward to the students I see today, how can I not feel this way? I see students advocating for themselves with their peers and adults. I see them showing kindness in many different ways. I see the growth of students academics as we compile our year end STAR and Dibels assessments. Leaders abound throughout our building as they lead assemblies, serve as peer mentors, perform in front of audiences, and take initiative to do great things for our school! All throughout our building you will see evidence of students making and leaving their mark, especially on the hearts of those who have worked with them this year.
Pride also continues as I reflect on our staff. I see how teachers have transformed their practice through professional development opportunities they seek for themselves or through their active participation in Instructional Coaching work with Dr. Maura Hart or our UDL Instructional Round work. I have also been witness to how several of our staff have stepped up to support students, taken on leadership roles with their peers, and have led great additional activities for student groups. I am so proud of the hard work and dedication that comes everyday to our school.
I am also proud of our community. How folks have come together to support student activities, our building, our PTO, and many special events. We could not provide such an enriching experience for our students without the support of our community. I am thankful for the connections we have with the local library, church, food pantry, Lions Club, Oasis Tutoring, and Rotary Club to name a few. These relationships have a direct impact on our students and the quality of support they receive here at school.
What an amazing year to reflect on and be proud of. I hope that if you identify what has made you proud this year, you will share it with others as well. Gratitude is only valuable if it is given, share freely!
Have a great week!
~Mrs. Woodward
