Happy New Year from our fabulous foxes! #WillowPride


Dear Willow families,

Happy New Year! We hope every one of you had a wonderful winter break and are ready to start the new year with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

As we begin a new year, it is a natural time to reflect on the past and set goals for the future. At Willow Springs, we are committed to helping our students grow and learn to reach their full potential. Whether it is a deeper self-reflection, becoming more involved in extracurricular activities, or simply paying kindness forward, we encourage our students, staff, and families to set personal goals for themselves and work towards achieving them.

We also want to remind everyone of the importance of being a positive member of our school community. Let's make it our resolution to be empathetic, accountable, respectful, and safe towards one another and to work together to create a positive and welcoming environment for all.

We are confident that, with the hard work and dedication of our students, parents, and staff, we will have a successful and productive year. Let's make it a great one!

Thank you,

Dylan Taylor, Principal

Lesley Hassen, Assistant Principal

Ipsa Stringer, Assistant Principal
