Week of January 3rd
Greetings Lenox Families/Saludos Familias Lenox
Welcome back and happy new year! I came across an article this past week that really resonated with me; it challenged readers to reflect on the following questions as we move into the new year. My challenge to all of you is to do the same - What is something that you are proud of from this past year? What is one mistake you made and the lesson you learned? What is one story you're willing to let go of? As I sat around the kitchen table reflecting on these very questions with my own children, it was clear that there is a lot that we want to take forward, many things we want to leave behind, and so much to be proud of. While we cannot control all the things that happen, we can control our attitude and our response. I am so incredibly proud of our students, our staff, and our community and cannot wait to see all that we can accomplish together in this new year! Thank you for sharing your incredible students with us each and every day. We are grateful for your continued support and partnership.
There are many things happening this month, be sure to check out all of the details below. And, as a reminder, if you ever have questions, suggestions, or wonderings, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's classroom teacher, the office or me. Communication and connection are key to our success!
