January News Letter
Queen City STEM School
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A word from our principal Mr. Ozer
Happy New Year Queen City STEM School Families;
I hope you all enjoyed your Winter Break and had some quality time with your dear ones.
A new year is always a chance for positive changes and new challenges for all people. J. F. Kennedy said, “For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.”
We have set the goal for us to be one of the leading schools in Charlotte and that is only possible with your support and constructive criticism. Our doors are always open for you. We are ready to evolve in the right direction to produce leaders for the country and the world.
We expect our students be ready for new challenges and go beyond their limits because we are sure that our students are all smart and have capacity to reach their goals. Dear families, all these things can be true with you.
Once again, I wish you Happy New Year and good luck.
Ali Ozer
