A note from Dr. Blake
LME Families,
Welcome to the 2022 - 2023 school year! This year our focus will be on Chasing Greatness and Building Champions - #WhateverItTakes! Our goal is to maximize student academic achievement while fostering leadership characteristics to help each student become their personal best.
As many of you know, I completed my doctoral work last spring in Educational Leadership. Additionally, I got married this summer, so I have the same face but a new name (Dr. Blake)! My new email address is shannon.blake@misd.gs. I am sure it will take some time for all of us to get used to this change!
This fall, we get to welcome Kindergarten - 2nd Grade Coleman students to the Miller campus Coleman families will use the same morning drop off line as Miller families, and recess and lunch will be combined as well. Specials and dismissal lines will be separated. We have created many protocols and procedures for this transition, and we thank you for your patience as we adjust the first several days of school.
The LME Staff considers it an absolute privilege to serve you and your families, and we cannot wait to get started! We are thankful for strong family support and welcome your input! Together, we are better!
Shannon Blake, Principal
