Tiger Tracks

Dear Families,

During this holiday season, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many blessings and achievements we’ve shared as a school community. This year has been a journey of learning, growth, and connection, and it’s all thanks to the incredible students, supportive families, and dedicated staff who make NLABC such a special place.

The holiday season is a time to celebrate and remember the grace that has been granted to us. Even as we go about our daily tasks we need to remember that we have so much to be grateful for. From the laughter in our classrooms to the energy at school events, the warmth of this community is truly inspiring.

Celebrating Our Successes

• We were honored to receive the National Blue Ribbon School award this year—a testament to our commitment to excellence in education.
• We’re thrilled to announce that our school surpassed its fundraising goals. Thank you for your generosity.
• We are also seeing the Middle of the Year assessments showing academic growth and meeting the goals we have set.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the new year, I am excited about the opportunities awaiting us in 2025. Together, we will continue to nurture a love of learning, foster strong relationships, and build on the foundations of kindness and respect.

Wishing You Joy

On behalf of the entire staff at NLABC], I want to wish you a holiday season filled with peace, love, and joy. May you create beautiful memories with your loved ones and return in the new year feeling refreshed and ready to shine.

Thank you for being an integral part of our school community. I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished together and am eager to see what the future holds.

Warmest wishes,

Dorissa Martin
