Dear Families,
Thank you so much for your incredible support of our Fall Fest and Manning Day of Hope! I feel lucky and honored to be a part of this community.
Thanks, also, for the support, advocacy, and wisdom of the Parent Partnership Committee. I appreciate your perspective and your thoughtful engagement on issues that have broad and important impact on our school and our community at large. I am grateful for your input and guidance on how to pursue continuous improvement and be the best school we can be for our amazing kids.
I know I promised an update on the work of our Design Advisory Group to guide the construction of our addition. I will have more detailed information about the decisions made by this body in the coming weeks as more details get ironed out and as the process comes to fruition. I appreciate your patience with us as we collaborate to ensure that the addition serves the best interest of our students, staff and community as a whole.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your kids with us; it is our honor to serve them!
Jeena
