News Bites 2023-2024
Week of August 28 - Sept 1, 2023
WELCOME NOTE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Welcome to the 2023/2024 School Year!
What a wonderful week it has been! The first day of school is one of my all-time favorite days of the school year. I love to welcome our students as they arrive with big smiles, eager to meet their teachers and make new friends. It's always fun to see our parents accompanying their children to school, equally excited about the year ahead for their children.
Every year, we choose a theme to set the stage for the year. This year, our theme is "What is Your Why?" It is important to remind ourselves why we chose education and to serve this great community. While each staff member has their own story about "Why" they work in the field of education, it is evident to me that our staff's love and passion for your children is the "Why." You will see staff wearing their "What's Your Why" t-shirts as we host curriculum nights and school events. I hope you will ask them to share their “Why.”
Below is a short video featuring many District 33 staff members sharing their "Why." Please take the time to view it and learn more about these passionate individuals who deeply care for the children and families of District 33.
I look forward to seeing families at our upcoming curriculum nights.
Sincerely,
Kristina Davis, Ed.S.
Superintendent
