From the Principal's Corner
Dear Golbow Elementary Parents,
Eleven years ago I was welcomed as the Principal at Golbow Elementary. We have had an incredible journey together and I have grown and learned so much from you and your children. We have worked collaboratively together, cried together, laughed together, and had fun together.
We have diligently worked to foster a safe and positive learning environment where all students have experienced quality instruction, high expectations, and an opportunity to excel in all areas of their abilities as Blue Jays. Growth has been fostered by the students consistently doing their best work, parents and school staff communicating effectively, and all adults providing positive encouragement and support which is so important to each child.
We have thrived together through many circumstances including but not limited to an entire campus renovation, increasing technology to support one to one student devices, Hurricane Harvey, changes in the curriculum, changes in state assessments, staff member changes and the list goes on. We have bridged the digital divide for our community by providing technology for the students to check out for home use as needed. This has proved so helpful during our current online learning situation to provide safety for our students, staff and community members.
I want you to know how much I appreciate this community. I have loved working with so many amazing students, staff members and parents, and you have contributed so much to my growth as a leader. Every day I have striven to bring my best and to support the growth of each individual child.
I have watched so many Blue Jays grow up and graduate from high school and go on to college or other successful endeavors. I have come to know the Golbow community as my extended family, and I have enjoyed so much being a part of the greatness that these students represent.
The GE staff members are very talented and love your kids. It has been such a privilege to work alongside them for the last eleven years. They are passionate about making decisions to meet the needs of each individual child. They work so hard to create engaging lessons for your children to enjoy learning.
However, it is time for a new challenge in my career, so I will be serving as the principal at Stockdick Junior High in Katy ISD starting in July 2020. I will be right next door to many former Blue Jays who are currently attending Paetow High School.
My heart is grateful for my Golbow experience. I thank you for it and I wish you continued success in the future years.
Virtual hugs,
Ann Lalime, Ed.D.
