Dear Farnham Families,
Although Veterans Day was officially observed on Monday, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all Veterans in our community. Your service and sacrifice inspire us, and we deeply appreciate your commitment to our nation.
On Thursday, we had the privilege of participating in the Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day. It was a joyful and inspiring way to start our day, filled with a sense of unity and purpose as we honored Ruby Bridges’ bravery and the values of inclusion and equity. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful event!
On Wednesday, we were informed of a planned police activity across the street from Farnham at an undisclosed time. Although the event ended up happening after school hours, it provided us with an excellent opportunity to review and ensure that our safety protocols and procedures were firmly in place. We are grateful to the police for giving us advance notice, allowing us to take necessary precautions to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and families.
Thank you for your ongoing support and trust in our efforts to keep Farnham a safe, inclusive, and thriving community. We look forward to seeing you at Movie Night tonight at 5:30.
We wish you a wonderful weekend.
Be well,
Amy O’Hehir
Principal, Farnham Elementary
