Dear Oak View Families,
What a fantastic first full week it has been as your principal! I'm thrilled to be part of the Oak View community and so grateful for the warm welcome.
This week's highlight was undoubtedly our spectacular production of The Little Mermaid. Our incredibly talented students shone brightly with their amazing singing and acting! A huge thank you to our dedicated stage crew for ensuring a flawless show. Kudos to Ms. Sweet, Ms. Aldridge, Ms. Farris, and Ms. Sousa for their exceptional direction and commitment.
It was also an honor to host our Operation Purple Sunrise this past Wednesday, celebrating our wonderful military-connected youth and their families. It was our distinct honor to welcome so many service members and their families to our school. Your sacrifices and dedication to our country are deeply appreciated.
I also want to express my sincere appreciation to the family members who joined me for my first Coffee & Conversation earlier this week. It was wonderful to connect with you, hear your thoughts, and begin building our partnership. I warmly invite all parents to join me for the upcoming Coffee & Conversations scheduled for the remaining Wednesday mornings in April at 8:30 AM. Please note that there will be no Coffee & Conversation during Spring Break. I understand that work schedules can make it challenging for many to attend a daytime gathering, and I want to assure you that I am working on scheduling evening opportunities to connect as well. Please stay tuned for more information on those after Spring Break!
Thank you for a wonderful week. Wishing you all a restful Spring Break!
Warmly,
Jamie
