Branagan's Bulletin
Final Bulletin for the 2019 - 2020 School Year
Week of June 15 - 19, 2020
Hey Sachems!!
I hope this note finds you well and coming off a great weekend. You did it!! The final days of the days of the school year are upon us. Let the countdown begin to a well-deserved summer vacation. I am beyond proud of you for all that you have done to remain committed to excellence during this most challenging of time.
Please know that your hard work does not go unnoticed. I know there were times where you wanted to give up...but you didn't! I know there were times when you thought you could not continue...but you did! Your strength, determination and resiliency were the key ingredients for you to meet with success. Summer is here!!
As we close this school year, please know serving you as your principal brings me such joy. I have missed you terribly and hoped school would have closed with a sense of normalcy. I truly wish each of you the very best of the summer and celebrate your accomplishments of finishing strong.
I will begin to count the days until our return to school in the fall...not matter what it may look it. I will be holding the door open for each of you of you to welcome you back home. So grateful for each of you!
Congratulations on the completion of another school year. Proud of you!
With sincere gratitude,
Bran
