A Note from Our Principal
As the holiday season approaches, we’re excited to celebrate community, diversity, and the joy of giving. This month we turn our studies to Antarctica, and a variety of artists and composers. We believe in creating a nurturing environment that honors the unique traditions of each family, and we look forward to learning more about your family and how you celebrate the season. Together, let’s make this holiday season a time of warmth, connection, and shared memories. We look forward to having time in class together later this month.
As the year comes to a close, I hope you take a moment to appreciate how much you have accomplished this year! Your love and dedication to your children is very evident and is inspiring to witness. Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and successful 2025!
Cheers,
Jamie
