Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope everyone enjoyed the Mother’s Day weekend. We had five mothers at our home on Sunday evening for dinner. It reminded me of how important our mothers are in our education lives. They get us up and out of bed, they make our breakfast and lunch, they get us to and from school, and they make sure we wear clean clothes and brush our teeth. Perhaps the most important thing they do is believe in us, and support us along the way (not to mention, make sure we have our homework done every night). Every student needs someone to believe in them so that they can be as good as they possibly can be. Thanks to all the moms who, because of what they do, make teachers and principals look good everyday.
Have a great week,
Gavan
