Things for which I'm Thankful...


I was invited on Wednesday of this past week to come to Mrs. Dalone's 1st grade class for some Thanksgiving poetry that they had prepared to read for their parents prior to the luncheon.  Seeing the joy and pride they displayed in sharing what they had prepared for their parents brought great joy to all of us adults who were there and so I wanted to share a short bit of it with all of you. 


It made me want to share with you some of the things that I am thankful for as a new principal here at Daniels Run ES.

1.  750 of the most amazing students who bring the light of learning to us every day. 
2.  100 dedicated and talented staff members who put in tireless hours of effort to make the difference for each child.
3.  Over 1,000 parents, guardians, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and caring community members who willingly partner with our school and support us with time and talent.
4.  1 great county and city school system partnership that provides us with resources, tools, and training to support each child.
5.  I'm also thankful for stuffing...I love STUFFING!

At the beginning of the year, we shared with staff a core value of our school which is FAMILY.  Nothing exemplified this value more than the Thanksgiving luncheon this past week when we came together as ONE SCHOOL FAMILY to eat, laugh, and talk with one another.  Thanks for coming in to show with your presence that you care about your child and our school!
