Principal:

Dear Preschool Families,

It’s hard to believe we’ve already reached the last day of school! What a joyful and enriching year it has been. It has been a true pleasure to play, learn, and grow alongside your children. They’ve achieved so much over these past months—thanks to their own hard work, the dedication of our wonderful teachers, and the incredible support you provide at home.

Together, we’ve found a beautiful balance between learning and fun. Whether it was through creative play, hands-on exploration, or heartwarming classroom moments, your children have brought so much energy and happiness to our school. We’re certainly going to miss seeing their smiling faces each day over the summer break.

To our Preschoolers who are moving on to Kindergarten—congratulations! We will miss you dearly. Watching you grow has been an honor, and we are so proud of all you’ve accomplished. We know you’re ready for the exciting adventures ahead and we wish you all the best in your new journey.

As we head into summer, I hope every family finds time to relax, recharge, and make special memories together. Thank you again for a fantastic school year. We look forward to welcoming many of you back in the fall!

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and refreshing summer.
Warm regards,
Joe Marinelli
Principal
