From the Principal’s Pen

Dear Laurel Hill Families,

THANK YOU, PTA, for an amazing carnival last Saturday! The way the team came together to plan and pivot for the expected rain speaks volume to the collaborative efforts throughout the year! Our staff, parents, and community collaborated once again for a successful event! We see you!

Only 3 more days of school left, and we cannot believe it! It has been a very prosperous year! We want to express our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support and partnership. Your involvement in your children's education has been instrumental in their success and growth this year. We are incredibly proud of the accomplishments of our students and the dedication of our staff.

As we look forward to a well-deserved summer break, I encourage you to continue fostering a love for learning in your children. Encourage them to read, explore their interests, and spend quality time with family and friends. These are important opportunities for personal and intellectual development.

We want to thank you all again for your ongoing support and for making this school year a positive and enriching experience for our students. Have a safe happy, and restful summer. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall for another year of learning, growth, and fun!

Sincerely,

Janice Dalton, Principal
