Dear Parents and Students,

As we close another fantastic school year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to each of you. Students, your hard work, curiosity, and perseverance have been truly inspiring. Parents, your support, encouragement, and partnership have played a vital role in helping our students succeed.

Summer is a time for relaxation, exploration, and making lasting memories. Whether it’s through travel, reading, new experiences, or simply enjoying time with family, I encourage everyone to make the most of this well-deserved break.

While we step away from the daily routines of school, learning never stops. Take time to discover new passions, reflect on your achievements, and prepare for an exciting year ahead. We can’t wait to welcome you back, refreshed and ready for another incredible journey together.

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and enriching summer!

 

Sincerely, 

Desiree Hitchmon-Houghton
Principal
