| A Note from the Headmaster
Hello Parents,
What a wonderful day to end the Quarter. I am so proud of the dedication and diligence of our students and the loving service of our faculty and staff. We have all earned this well-needed break.
I am sure you will hear about this soon, but the day ended with a school-wide assembly. It was a surprise celebration for Mr. Tierney, our beloved Classics teacher, who will be retiring at the end of Q4 after fifty years of teaching. It was a special time for the entire student body to honor his years of service and celebrate the man and teacher he is.
We did sell donuts this morning, cotton candy at lunch, and gave every student a donut at the end of the assembly. Spring Break may bring a needed health resolution for all of us. My apologies if your children are extra energetic this evening.
Thank you for your trust and partnership; I look forward to sharing Quarter 4 with all of you very soon.
Enjoy your time together over Break,
Mr. Navarrette
Headmaster
