​​"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity, and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”  

(Edith Love Joy Pierce) 

Happy New Year! It has been a great first week back at school and as we look ahead to rest of the school year, we take time to reflect on where we have been and towards where we are going. As I have walked around classrooms this week, evidence of reflection, goal setting and imagining possibilities has been abundant. Students have been considering their learning and discussing all the opportunities there are for them to continue to grow over the remainder of the school year. 

We hope you will approach the new year with resolve and find the opportunities hidden in each day. A new year is a beautiful opportunity to start fresh and shift mindsets. There are so many opportunities for us all ahead in 2024. 

Here is to a healthy and Happy New Year ahead! Looking forward to welcoming 2024 with all of you. 

Sincerely,

Lisa Patten
