A Heartfelt Thank You
Dear Families,
On behalf of our entire staff, I want to extend my deepest thanks for the generous recognition and appreciation you’ve shown during Staff Appreciation Week. Your kind notes, thoughtful gestures, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude was a beautiful affirmation of the care and dedication we bring to our roles.
It is surreal that we are going into our last two weeks of school. As we begin to think about the big transitions on the horizon, our students explored the story Lizzy and the Cloud during their SEL lesson. This book sparked thoughtful conversations about care, responsibility, and the importance of knowing when to let go. This was particularly meaningful, as students discussed what they had outgrown or were ready to let go, as well as some things they will hold onto and remember from the school year and/or their time in elementary school.
We hope your family takes time to celebrate this milestone and look back on all the great memories, experiences, and amazing staff who made Conley special
Warmly,
Mrs. Surjan
