Region 5's Outstanding
New Teacher
Dear Willow Springs families,
Last week students returned to school after Spring Break and they BURST into our building on Wednesday with all the joy, enthusiasm, creativity and thirst for learning and friendships that makes them and Willow Springs such a WONDERFUL place to learn and grow together. It was a short but powerful week as we all worked together to fill the days with opportunities for growth in all areas.
Our week ended on a very high note when our Region 5 Leaders came to our school and announced that our beloved Ms. G has been selected as Region 5's Outstanding New Teacher for the 23-24 school year! We have always known she is a winner and are thrilled to know that others also see how brightly she shines. Ms. G will now go on for consideration in the selection process for the district-wide award.
This week, we look forward to experiencing the solar eclipse together on Monday, honoring Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday and seeing many of you on Thursday at our April PTA meeting. An information email about the solar eclipse was sent to you on Friday via email. ICYMI, check your inbox.
Thank you for sending us your very best every day! #WillowPride
