Dear Beech Tree Families,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope this message finds you well and that each family had an enjoyable winter break.
The halls are once again bustling with the energy and excitement that only our students can bring. As your children returned to school, they were eager to share stories about their adventures during the break. It is amazing how two weeks away from the classroom can feel like an eternity in the life of a child. Many of them walked through our doors a little taller, a little older, and brimming with the enthusiasm that a holiday break brings.
This week, our dedicated Beavers (a.k.a. our hardworking students) have been diligently diving into the new year by revisiting and reinforcing core skills in their classrooms. It's inspiring to witness their commitment to learning and growth.
We look forward to another semester filled with exciting discoveries, achievements, and shared moments. We encourage you to engage with your child about their experiences at school and to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Here's to a fantastic year ahead, filled with learning, laughter, and the continued growth of our Beech Tree community!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
With appreciation,
Principal Clarke
