Beacon Tree Families:
It is hard to believe that we are almost at the end of September already! When talking with a fellow principal friend over the summer and informing her that I was moving to Beacon Tree, she said this to me..."You will love it. When you walk into the school while students are there, you will feel the energy." That principal was so right! I feel it and love it every single day!
This past week I met with each grade level to talk about our Beacon Tree family and belonging. We went over some key points in our handbook that centered around tips for success and character education. I reviewed skills related to our All-Star Strong 5 traits...be kind, be respectful, be grateful, be responsible, and be honest. Please take time this weekend to talk to your child about what it takes to be All-Star Strong. I ask that you remind them to use these traits everywhere (classroom, lunchroom, playground, bus etc.)
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your partnership.
~ Mrs. Lenz
