Dear Parents:
At Year’s End…the most important thing to say is thank you, thank you, thank you.
How can we ever begin to express our appreciation to all of the people who support our wonderful staff and make Waxpool Elementary such a very special school?
First of all, thank you to our outstanding PTA. The PTA Board and our general membership consists of hardworking, positive, supportive, and extremely capable members of the school community who always give so willingly of their time, talent, and energy whenever and wherever they are needed. A very special thank you to Jimmy Shah, Ashley Augustine, Gabby Falconi-Hurt, Aida Davalos, and Cristi Breen for all their hard work, efforts and dedication to the school and the community.
A very special thank you to our highly qualified and dedicated teachers. They approach each day with enthusiasm and hope. They tirelessly provide a positive and productive learning environment for our students. They are among the very best the profession has to offer.
A special thank you to administration and all the support staff and classified staff who consistently demonstrate the highest degree of dedication and professional performance. We are indeed blessed to have so many warm, caring, and competent people to work with and nurture our children. Our assistant principal, Dean, our secretaries, our counselors, our health clinic specialist, our custodians, our cafeteria crew, and our instructional assistants all improve life for our teachers and our students in a special way every day.
A very special thank you to our wonderfully supportive parents. Your unfailing support and involvement in the educational process are so very important. The home/school connection is the key ingredient to school success. Your loyalty, consideration, and trust have made our partnership one of mutual respect and appreciation.
And last, but certainly not least, a very special thank you to our students. They have risen to every challenge, working hard and doing their best. They have continued to amaze us with their determination, creativity, resilience, and promise. I am honored to be your principal; you make me PROUD to be a Piranha. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
With Piranha Pride,
Michael Pellegrino
