Message from the Principal’s Desk

December 18, 2024

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many accomplishments of our students and staff. This year has been filled with exciting events, academic achievements, and positive growth.

November and December Highlights

This past month has been especially eventful. We were blown away by the incredible talent and creativity showcased at our Dance Show. Our talented dancers mesmerized the audience with their graceful movements, stunning costumes, and captivating performances.

The holiday spirit filled the air during our heartwarming Sing-A-Long Holiday Performance. Our students’ voices united in beautiful harmony, filling the room with joy and cheer. It was a truly magical experience.

Our Unified Bocce team continued to excel, demonstrating their skills and sportsmanship at the Unified Bocce Competition. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication.

Many of our students also had the opportunity to explore potential future academic paths through exciting college trips. These experiences broadened their horizons and inspired them to reach for their dreams.

Building Upgrades

We’re also excited to share that we’ve made significant improvements to our school building. The theater has been enhanced with new rugs and chairs, creating a more comfortable and inspiring environment for performances. Our gym, lobby, and main office now feature stunning new branding murals that reflect our school’s identity and values.

A Heartfelt Thank You

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to our dedicated teachers, staff, and parents for their unwavering support and commitment to our students’ success. Your partnership is invaluable in creating a positive and enriching learning environment.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

As we celebrate the holiday season, I wish you all a joyous and peaceful time with your loved ones. May the new year bring happiness, health, and prosperity to you and your families.

Sincerely,

Principal McDermott
