Navigating Forward Together
5.27.21
Hello Oakland Families,
What. A. Year.
This one was a year for the record books, for sure. I want to begin by thanking you for your patience, grace, and perseverance. We know that this year was just as challenging for our families as it was for our students and staff. So, congratulations, we made it!!!
In reflecting back on both myself and Mrs. Burns' first year at Oakland, I can honestly say this was nothing like what we had envisioned it would be. All that said - I honestly can't think of a better way to start on a journey with our families than by getting through something this difficult because we worked TOGETHER.
From the beginning of this year, our theme at Oakland has been to Navigate Forward Together. Our forward path definitely wasn't a straight shot. It had u-turns and redirections, with many squiggly patterns along the way. But you know what? We. Made. It. All of us!
I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to each one of you for allowing us to partner with you this year to make the best possible experience for our children. Again, I know that the year wasn't ideal, but I truly believe we made the best of it.
We are so excited to see what all we will accomplish together, with all of our students, staff, and families, next year. (After a nice, relaxing summer, of course!) :) It has truly been our honor and privilege to be at Oakland this year with all of you. For those that we have yet to meet, we look forward to building a partnership with you in the coming years. For those that are moving onto their next journey at AUGS or elsewhere, thank you for entrusting us with your children each day.
We are grateful for a year of success through struggle and triumph through trials. Thank you for being alongside of us for this journey.
Have a fabulous summer and we cannot wait to see you again soon!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Adams and Lindsay Burns
