Dear Stone Friends and Families,
It is hard to believe that we have now completed the 2015-2016 school year. What a year it has been! We have been witness to the dedication and perseverance of our students in their academics which has resulted in many new and fulfilling achievements.
All of our students’ achievements could not be possible without the support they receive from all members of our school community. Thank you to the teachers, educational assistants, and support staff who work tirelessly to make learning at our school possible. Thank you also to all of our parents and guardians who support our students in so many ways. Whether you volunteered in the school, helped with homework, provided a morning wake-up call or served as a daily taxi service we know that your efforts and encouragement have contributed to your student’s school success.
I would like to thank each of you who volunteered or who have helped the school in any way this year! Schools rely upon their communities to support them, and without the various support efforts of each and every one of you, we would not have been able to provide the various opportunities for our students to excel in their core classes, the arts, music, language and a myriad of other activities. Our children continue to be academically, socially and emotionally richer because of the efforts of so many of you.
As we draw the curtains on another school year at Stone Middle School let us not forget that learning is an every moment of every day experience. School may be over until September 6th but each of us, young and old, continue to learn on a daily basis.
Have a wonderful safe summer, enjoy the extra time with your children and find opportunities to be creative and have fun. I hope that everyone can take some time this summer to relax, rejuvenate, and reflect on our many achievements.
I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 6th.
Amielia Mitchell
