A Message from our Principal...
Larson Families,
I am finding that writing this last note for the newsletter is a bit bittersweet. I have been part of the Larson Community since 2003 participating as a mom, a teacher, district support and as your principal for the past 5 years. I have watched my own children navigate through the halls of this awesome building and have tried to positively motivate and encourage all of the students I have been so privileged to teach and lead, the total of which (after almost 19 years) is in the thousands. Larson is and always will be a special place for me.
Although the past few years have been challenging, I am very proud of the way our amazing staff and students have taken on those challenges, persevered and thrived both academically, and socially. That would not have been possible without amazing families that care deeply about their kids, so THANK YOU for sharing your children all these years.
My request for the future of Larson is that this amazing community of learners never stop striving to achieve the goals set before them, look for positive solutions, give each other grace and most importantly, have fun learning.
Wishing you all the best and hoping you have a wonderful summer!
Beckie Murphy
