Administrator Ave
Dear Bee Families,
As this week draws to a close, my heart is filled with a bittersweet mix of emotions. It has been an absolute honor to serve as your principal and to be a part of this beautiful community.
Our school, with its vibrant spirit and buzzing energy, has been a place of joy, learning, and growth. I have been so inspired by the dedication of our teachers, the creativity of our students, and the unwavering support of our parents and guardians. Together, we have formed a true community where everyone feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
I will cherish the memories of countless school events, from spirited community events to heartwarming celebrations. I will miss the laughter in the hallways, the excitement in the classrooms, and the sense of belonging that permeates every corner of our school.
As I embark on a new chapter, I want to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you. Thank you for your trust, cooperation, and unwavering belief in the power of education. Your support has made my time here truly unforgettable.
I wish you all a wonderful remainder of the school year.
With heartfelt thanks,
Mrs. Hunstad
Proud Principal
