Happy Holidays!
As we wrap up 2020, please accept my sincerest "Thank You" for the support you've given our school these past several months. I am grateful for your presence at our meetings; the phone calls and emails of requests, questions, suggestions; your engagement as you monitor the various changes, tweaks, re-starts in our district; your participation in the recent survey; and most importantly, you and your scholar's selecting and trusting Rosie Sorrells School of Education and Social Services at Townview Magnet Center to provide effective and impactful teaching and learning experiences for their high school years. To borrow a line from Southwest Airlines, "We know you could have chosen any [school], but you chose us", and we do not take that lightly. …And we're still here ready to move onward and upward with your scholar in mind.
May your holidays be safe, merry, and bright. We look forward to meeting again in 2021!
