Dear Cory Community,
It is amazing to think that 2017 is coming to a close! As we wind down and prepare for the break we would like to thank all of the families who adopted a Cory family to support this holiday season. Your donations will make the holidays extra special for many of our children here at Cory. Thank you so much for your very generous support!
As a staff, we look forward to the new year as we continue to work on our mission and vision, our professional growth as educators and our continued dedication to meeting the needs, challenging and engaging all of our students. We will continue our work on math practices, our Opening Minds book study, our partnership with the GT department to further develop our math compacting design and implementation as well as launch several inquiry-based projects across grade levels.
Finally, as the year draws to a close, all of the faculty here at Cory would like to extend warm wishes to all of you for a safe and restful Winter break filled with peace, joy and good cheer! We look forward to an amazing 2018.
Regards,
Elizabeth TenCate
Interim Principal
