From the Principal...
Hello Colbert families!
We hope this message finds you well as we celebrate the successful completion of our first week of school! We are excited to share some fantastic news with you all. Thanks to the incredible support of our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), every student and staff member will be receiving a special Colbert shirt with our brand-new logo. These shirts are a symbol of our unity and pride in our school community. If your child receives their shirt and finds that they need a different size, please do not hesitate to reach out to us so we can make the necessary arrangements. We are here to ensure that everyone is comfortable and proud to wear their Colbert gear.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. Your feedback and involvement are vital to our continued success. Thank you for being a part of the Colbert family, and here's to a fantastic school year ahead!
Warm regards,
Cari Trowbridge
