From the Principal
Hopefully this message finds you well and in good spirits. Just like that, 2020-2021 has concluded, and it seems like it just started. The short week featured instruction (yes, it took place), engaging activities to promote teamwork, class celebrations, and teacher day auction experiences. During this year, we have all been challenged, stretched, encouraged, etc. It has been a joy to see the resilience of our scholars and faculty members. We wish our 5th graders transitioning on to middle school much success as they continue this race for excellence at a new school, and we look forward to our scholars resting, relaxing, AND reading during this Summer Break. The district will offer various opportunities to engage with families over the summer, so check out the Longhorn H.E.L.P. information included in the newsletter.
A special thank you goes out to Ms. Peterbark and Mr. Gates for collaborating to produce an awesome Spring Concert with the theme "Gotta Be Jazz" (link included on below). We had our final campus-wide read aloud of the year featuring the book "I Believe I Can", and we encourage scholars, faculty members, and families to remember that self-affirmation is powerful, and when you believe in yourself, you can achieve your goals. The last day of the 2020-2021 for scholars concluded with a yard sign compliments of our PTA that allowed us to capture some great pictures while affirming a true statement.
Speaking of PTA, thanks a bunch to our outgoing PTA Board for their efforts and pivoting during this pandemic. Our PTA has remained strong over the years, and we look forward to continuing efforts with our incoming PTA Board listed below:
- President: Lakeisha Jones
- Vice President: Tiranus Edwards
- Treasurer: Bonnie Castillo
- Secretary: Angel Gardner
- Event Coordinator: Chantoinae Phillips
- Parliamentarian: Aneesha Woods
Our faculty ended our last day together with our Annual Faculty Breakfast & Awards, and it was an awesome time of fellowship (and the first time this school year that we were all together in the same space). With that, the Summer Break has started for faculty, and they will now "tune into" self-care to come back rejuvenated in 2021-2022. On behalf of our entire faculty, THANKS A BUNCH for partnering with us this 2020-2021 school year, and we hope that you will continue to remain safe.
Be sure to keep the following dates(s) in mind:
- Ongoing: 2021-2022 Registration
- August 12: First Day of 2021-2022

Question for You to Pose to Your Child: Why is it important to believe in yourself?
