Happy Summer!

Farewell to my HGECC families
Wow, has it been a whirlwind of a school year! This is not what I would have imagined in a million years, and I am sure you wouldn't have either. But you all rocked this distance learning and we got through it and stayed connected.
Thank you to each of you for working hard to keep your kids in touch with their teachers, for tuning in on our zooms, for participating in music and dance, and for posting and sharing pics on our facebook page. We loved seeing our students' smiles, hearing their voices, and all of the sweet notes from you all. Thank you for participating in our end of the year parade! This was a first time for that, and I can't tell you how much we enjoyed seeing the kids and you in person!
Finally, I want to share that I will not be returning to the HGECC family next year. I will be starting a new adventure as the principal of an elementary school in the district where I live and my kids attend school. The Grandview community has been a part of my life for 14 years, and I will leave a piece of my heart here. I will take so many amazing experiences and life lessons from our HGECC staff, and the students and families that I have had the pleasure of getting to know over those years. Every moment has guided me and shaped me into who I am, and how I will move on to lead another fantastic group of educators. You have an amazing team of people here at HGECC, and they will continue to do great things with you and your children.
Thank you for sharing your child with me and your lives with me this year.

Introducing your new principal: Stephanie Bradley
Dear High Grove Early Childhood Family,
I am very humbled and honored to introduce myself as the new principal of High Grove and to join this amazing school. I share in High Grove’s dedication to caring for our students every day while providing them with a meaningful learning environment.
I have been in education for 16 years. I taught kindergarten and second grade for 11 years in the classroom. I was then an Instructional Coach at the middle school for three years and the district Coordinator of Professional Development for two years. I am super excited to have the opportunity to work directly with you and your children.
When I am away from the school I spend every moment with my husband and our three puppy dogs. We love working on our home, camping, and exploring antique shops. Together we have six children, all of whom are young adults who live all over the states.
Please know that I am very eager to meet you all and I can’t wait to see each of your children’s smiling faces.
Sincerely,
Stephanie D. Bradley
