Dear Willow Springs families,
As we rapidly approach the end of this school year, there is so much to look back on and to feel gratitude and joy for. This has been an incredible school year packed full of opportunities for our students and our community to come together to make learning and growing a positive experiences for all. We have accomplished so much because of YOU and the support you give our students and our staff on a daily basis.
We recently celebrated Faculty & Staff Appreciation Week and each day we were showered with treats. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! Included in the weeklong celebration was an opportunity for students to write notes of appreciation to Mr. Taylor. As you can see in the picture above, our students had a lot to say! Mr. Taylor slays all day and he is really nice and kind! :)
Thank you to everyone who attended our PTA meeting last week. We are really looking forward to meeting our new families during the summer for some playground get togethers.
Thank you for sending us your best every day! #Willow Pride
Dylan Taylor, Principal
Ipsa Stringer, Assistant Principal
