Rush Home Connection
November 2019
A Message from Mrs. DiSimone & Mrs. Mele...
As this new month begins, it makes us reflect upon the many things for which we are grateful. We would like to share a few:
First and foremost, we are thankful to work with our incredible students in grades 3, 4, and 5! They are so inquisitive and eager to learn. They come to school each day with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts!
We feel blessed to work alongside the many teachers, assistants, counselor, nurse, secretaries, lunch clerks, and other support staff who care about student success and have the best interests of our students at heart. We see dedicated and hard-working individuals going above and beyond to make sure that great things happen in our school. They do make a difference, and our students benefit from those efforts.
We are grateful for the support of a wonderful community of Rush families! Our interactions with students' families have been positive and productive! We appreciate the trust and confidence that parents have placed in us, leaving their most valuable ones with us. We appreciate the families who work so hard to advocate and are critical partners in their children's education. Thanks to your influence and involvement, your children come to school with a solid foundation and understand the importance of learning!
