Dear Parents and Guardians,

As the year winds down and we enter this season of joy, reflection, and togetherness, I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude for our incredible SABE school community. Your unwavering support, involvement, and partnership continue to make a difference in the lives of our students and the success of SABE.

As we approach winter break, I encourage you to use this time to connect as a family, celebrate your traditions, and enjoy some well-deserved rest. It's also a great opportunity to spark conversations with your children about their goals for the coming year and reflect on all they’ve accomplished in 2024.

On behalf of our staff, I wish you and your family a joyful season filled with peace and happiness. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in January, refreshed and ready for an exciting new chapter in 2025.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Reyes
Principal
