FROM THE PRINCIPAL
This will be the final newsletter for the 2011– 2012 school year. I want to thank everyone for a wonderful year. First, the Masters staff has done an exceptional job of nurturing and educating your children. I know how fortunate I am to have the best staff in the world! Next, I want to thank the parents, grandparents, guardians, and other family members for sending us your children each and every day. We could not educate your children without your support, guidance and cooperation. I truly believe that a team effort is essential to promote high student achievement and success. And finally, I want to thank the Masters’ students. They make teaching exciting, rewarding and challenging. When students arrive at school with smiles on their faces, we know they are ready to learn and put forth their best efforts. Kids come first, and we hope that we have made that apparent this year.
I would especially like to thank our PTO Board Members and PTO Members who have given so much of their time to the meetings, activities/events, and all the other special things they have done for our school and students. Their loyalty and dedication has been evident in all that they have done throughout the school year. Thank you so much-you are all special! The PTO and I look forward to working with you in the near future.
This summer please take your children to the library, the museum, the zoo, and on other adventures that promote learning. The experiences you provide for your children will add to their learning and background knowledge.
We want to say good-bye to our sixth grade families. We wish you and the other families who are leaving us the very best in the future.
Have a safe and enjoyable summer. Enjoy your children!
