MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Cory Families,
First and foremost I want to take a moment of gratitude for the outpouring of love this week. The gifts, tokens of appreciation and words of affirmation through cards made have been so thoughtful and we, as a staff, just want to say thanks!
Also, we made it to winter break! We have been working hard and now it is time to breathe and enjoy family time! We have two weeks off so take this time to recharge, connect and reflect. We will see you in the new year on January 4!
I want to share a wonderful event 2nd grade held yesterday to celebrate the research students engaged in for Difference Makers. We appreciate the families and classes that joined us to celebrate the hard work these students demonstrated through research, creating a speech and an artifact. The students did some amazing work!
I want to express my gratitude for this amazing community for supporting Cory today with our early release. We appreciate the partnership and support to keep our kids safe since we had no water in the building.
Have a wonderful break and a very happy holiday season!
Best,
Joan Wieser
