Dear LES Families,
Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is almost here and our school year is moving along quickly. At this time each year, we often reflect on all of the things that we are thankful for. We are grateful for all of the wonderful people at Leonardtown Elementary School. We have wonderful students, amazing staff, and supportive parents. Our school is such a wonderful place because all of these people are willing to work together towards achieving the goal of success.
For our students, teachers and staff, and all of you, I approach each day with an "attitude of gratitude". It helps me to get through each day knowing I have such great support for our students and the work we are doing on behalf of our youngest learners is so fulfilling. We have a fantastic school community and I am proud to be your principal.
We will not be publishing this newsletter next week. The next newsletter will be published on December 4.
On behalf of the entire Leonardtown Elementary School Staff, we wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Warmly,
Contina Quick-McQueen
