Asa C. Adams School Newsletter
January 2023
Dear Asa Families,
Happy New Year! I hope you and your family enjoyed the break and had time to do some of the things that you love best or took the time to simply rest and relax. As we begin 2023, it is amazing to think we are almost half way through the school year but what better time to stop and reflect on how the year has been going. I must say it has been a wonderful journey so far as I continue to get to know all of the things that make Asa so special and continue to forge relationships with all of you. I hope that all of you feel the same.
Ms. West and myself are always open to hearing from you. If you have ideas on how we can make Asa an even greater place for teaching and learning, we would love to connect with you. As we all continue to grow, learn and stretch ourselves in the new year, remember we are here if you need us.
Sincerely,
Ms. Wyman and Ms. West
