Friday Launch
April 12, 2019
Happy Friday La Mesa Staff,
Congratulations to everyone on our recognition as a Capturing Kids' Hearts National Showcase School. This is an affirmation of the positive school climate you have all been part of building here at La Mesa. Enjoy the recognition. You all deserve it!
Thank you to everyone for a wonderful Open House. The families were very generous with their compliments. I lost track of how many times i heard how much their kids LOVED their teachers. Thank you for creating such a positive school culture where students are loved and cared for. It was an outstanding night!
Sincerely,
Michele
