Bear Bulletin
Maire Newsletter February 18th edition
Dear Maire Families,
I think the world has become more adaptive and flexible due to the pandemic. So much has changed in the past two years, and with each change our students, staff, and families have made the most out of each situation. As many are aware, the district continues to send communications about the change in county and state mandates regarding masks. Regardless of what changes have come along, our goal at Maire has always been to continue to provide a safe and caring learning environment for everyone. We will continue to work hard to make students feel safe at school with whatever they need to provide comfort or support.
Speaking of transitions, we are shifting into Mid-Winter Break. We hope that each and every family has a safe week together. As a parent myself, I try to enjoy whatever time I can to reconnect with my children. I also think it is important to recognize how valuable this opportunity is to just recharge, relax, and slow down for a bit. Children and adults alike. However you spend your break, we hope you have a great time and we will see you back on Monday, February 28th.
Sincerely,
Ryan Francis
proud Principal of Maire
