December News 2023 "The World's Greatest Elementary School"
PRINCIPAL POINTS
Dear Taft Community,
As we approach the end of the year, we are filled with gratitude for the wonderful moments we have shared and the incredible achievements of our students and staff. December is a time for reflection, celebration, and spreading joy.
Winter Break: As we approach the end of December, we want to remind you that there will be no school from December 25 to January 5, allowing our students and staff to enjoy a well-deserved break with their loved ones. We hope this time provides an opportunity for rest, rejuvenation, and quality time with family and friends.
School Resumes: We look forward to welcoming everyone back as school resumes on January 8, 2024. We are excited to embark on a new year filled with learning, growth, and endless possibilities.
As we bid farewell to 2023, let us cherish the memories we have created and look forward to the promise of a new year. We wish you all a joyful holiday season and a prosperous new year.
After having wrapped up our first trimester and held Parent- Teacher Conferences, we look forward to finishing 2023 strong and moving into the new year with academic momentum.
