Update from Mrs. Lomonico
Dear TGE Families,
Happy New Year, and welcome back to the second semester of the 2023-2024 school year! I hope each of you had a rejuvenating winter break filled with joy, laughter, and cherished moments.
As we step into the remainder of the school year, I'm filled with excitement and optimism for the growth and accomplishments that lie ahead. It's a time for fresh starts, new goals, and the continuation of the incredible learning journey at Toll Gate Elementary.
Goal setting plays a crucial role in personal and academic growth. I encourage our students, families, and staff to embrace the opportunity to set realistic and achievable goals for the rest of the school year. Whether it's academic achievements, personal development, or community engagement, let's work together to support one another in reaching new heights.
At Toll Gate, we believe in the potential of every student. This semester, we'll continue to provide engaging and innovative learning experiences that spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and foster a love for lifelong learning. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to nurturing the unique talents and strengths of each child, ensuring they reach their full potential.
I'm grateful for the strong sense of community that defines Toll Gate Elementary. Your support, involvement, and partnership are invaluable to the success of our students. Together, let's make the second semester a period of shared achievements, memorable experiences, and continued growth.
Stay tuned for exciting events, updates, and celebrations throughout the semester. I'm thrilled to embark on this journey with each of you, and I look forward to witnessing the remarkable accomplishments that will unfold in the coming months.
Wishing you a fantastic start to the new semester and a year filled with joy, success, and abundant growth!
Warm regards,
