Message from the Principal
Greetings Findley Community~
I hope you are enjoying your summer break so far. Before we get too far into the summer, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support, partnership, and trust.
Your involvement, feedback, and encouragement have played a vital role in shaping our school community. You’ve pushed us to grow, to reflect, and to continually strive to be the best we can be—for your children and for you. This year, we’ve learned so much from you—about what matters most, about how to communicate better, and about how we can strengthen our collaboration to better serve our students.
I am proud of all that we’ve accomplished together, and I look forward to continuing this partnership in the coming year. Thank you for walking alongside us, challenging us, and believing in the power of education and community.
Wishing you a joyful, restful summer with your loved ones.
With Gratitude,
Sherry Marsh, Ed.D
