Words of the Month for May: Responsibility and Exploration

Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

Can you believe we’ve reached May? There is a certain electricity in the air this month, the buzz of a school year reaching its crescendo. May is often our busiest month, serving as a bridge between the hard work of the past three seasons and the celebrations that lie ahead. It is a time for "final pushes" in the classroom and "final bows" on the stage.

🌸 Key Highlights for the Month

• Appreciation Week: This week, we celebrate our incredible educators. A small note of thanks from a student or parent often means more to a teacher than anything else. Don't forget to participate in our activities this week!

• Testing & Academic Milestones: While we focus on the "whole child," we also want to acknowledge the focus and grit our students are showing during year-end assessments. You’ve got this!

💡 A Thought on "The Finish Line"

As the calendar fills up, it’s easy for students (and parents!) to feel a bit of "spring fever." My challenge to our students this month is to finish strong. Excellence isn't just about how you start; it’s about the integrity and effort you put into the final weeks.

"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." — B.B. King

Thank you for your continued partnership in making this school year a success. Let’s make this May one to remember!

Warmly,

Mrs. Elisondo

Principal

Estimados Estudiantes, Familias y Personal:

¿Pueden creer que ya estamos en mayo? Este mes se respira una atmósfera especial, el zumbido de un año escolar que llega a su punto culminante. Mayo suele ser nuestro mes más ajetreado, ya que sirve de puente entre el esfuerzo de las últimas tres temporadas y las celebraciones que nos esperan. Es el momento de dar el "empujón final" en las clases y de hacer la "reverencia final" sobre el escenario.

🌸 Eventos Importantes del Mes

Semana de Agradecimiento: Esta semana, rendimos homenaje a nuestros increíbles educadores. Una pequeña nota de agradecimiento de un/a alumno/a o padres suele significar más para un/a maestro/a que cualquier otra cosa. ¡No olviden participar en nuestras actividades esta semana!
Exámenes y Metas Académicas: Aunque nos enfocamos en el desarrollo integral del estudiante, también queremos reconocer la concentración y la determinación que nuestros alumnos están demostrando durante las evaluaciones de fin de año. Lo pueden lograr!
💡 Una Reflexión sobre "La Línea de Meta"
A medida que el calendario se va llenando, es fácil que los estudiantes (¡y los padres!) sientan un poco de "fiebre primaveral". Mi reto para nuestros estudiantes este mes es terminar con fuerza. La excelencia no solo se mide por cómo se empieza; se mide por la integridad y el esfuerzo que se pone en las últimas semanas.

"Lo hermoso de aprender es que nadie te lo puede quitar". — B.B. King

Estimados padres:

Si se sienten un poco como un corredor de maratón que acaba de ver el letrero de "falta una milla", no están solos. Mayo es un mes de mucha energía, pero también puede ser una temporada de gran presión. Entre los proyectos finales, los exámenes y los sentimientos agridulces de despedirse de otro año escolar, es mucho para sobrellevar. Como su consejero, mi objetivo este mes es ayudar a todos a cruzar esa línea de meta con su bienestar intacto.

We will continue to work together to ensure are students are safe and healthy while at school!
