From The Principal's Desk
Greetings North Wales Families,
I am so proud of our students for starting the year off strong! We had a great first week of school. I saw quite a few smiling faces, students and teachers sharing laughs, and every classroom I visited were taking part in community building and getting to know each other activities. I would like to express my gratitude for the warm welcome I have received.
As the new principal, I am so impressed with the professionalism of our staff and their genuine care and dedication to our students. Likewise, I appreciate all you do with your children to help them be successful at home and school. Our staff and your families comprise a super team of advocates for students, a positive partnership that can accomplish so much good!
I am looking forward to another great week!
Warmly,
Ms. Dana Kenney
Principal
