Dear Moreland Community,
As we enter the last week of school, my heart is filled with gratitude for such an incredible year. As I walk through schools and classrooms, whether it is during the school day, Open House events, music performances or garden visits with our students, there is so much to be proud of. What sticks out the most to me is the joy I see in our students when I walk onto our campuses. I continue to be inspired by the collaborative learning partnership we have built among our students, staff and families.
This would not be possible without the outstanding educators who remain dedicated to Moreland students. We truly value the time, energy and expertise that is shared to help ensure our children are academically prepared for the next level, and have a strong sense of belonging in school.
I want to extend an extra congratulations to the 8th graders who will be promoting to high school. May your time at Moreland stay with you during this exciting next chapter, and remember you always are welcome here.
In education there are often small moments where we are reminded of the important role we play in bringing out the best in our students. I can’t help but share one such moment that I discovered during a recent visit to Latimer. Up on the wall was a piece of first-grade writing that made me smile:
The Best Day
The best day was when I was born.
First I noticed that I was somewhere different.
Then we went to the car and we started to drive.
Next we got to the house.
I had never seen my house before.
Finally we were in my room and it was new.
Now you know about my best day ever.
-Latimer First Grader
I wish you a restful summer break filled with connection, relaxation, and family memories. We look forward to seeing students back for the first day of school on August 14, 2024.
