Principal’s Message

Dear Families,

As we close out this wonderful school year, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your partnership and support. It has been a year full of remarkable growth, learning, and community, and we couldn't have done it without you. Your involvement makes a significant difference, and we are so thankful for the strong, collaborative spirit you all bring to our school.

It has been a joy to watch our students flourish, and we are immensely proud of all they have accomplished. We hope the summer break offers a time for rest, fun, and creating beautiful memories with family and friends.

Wishing you all a relaxing, safe, and joyful summer. We look forward to welcoming our students back in the fall, refreshed and ready for a new year of discovery.

Kind regards,

Linda Textoris
