It is hard to believe that this is the last week of the school year. This has been a successful year and one that we should be proud of. A few accomplishments that come to mind are:
Please take a moment to think about the successes that your children have had this year. Many of our youngest children came to school without knowing how to read, but over the course of the school year learned this skill that will open the world for them. So many of our students have overcome obstacles and gained confidence this year and these are skills that will serve them well after they leave school. Friendships have also been formed over the year that will serve our students well in the future. Our teams have had successes and our teams have had failures this year (the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat). The lessons learned in the losses are just as important as those that come with the victories. Has it been a perfect year? Absolutely not. I have made mistakes over the year and our staff members have made mistakes. These are things we will learn from and SISD will be better because of these learning opportunities. As I reflect on this school year, I am proud of what our students and staff have accomplished and I hope you are as well.
Congratulations to the Class of 2024 and I know we will hear good things about you as you forge your path after graduation. I hope all of you have a great summer and we will see you in August.
