Dear Parents-

Happy Summer!

We had a great last day of school yesterday. Our 5^th grade celebration in the morning provided opportunities to reflect on the blessings of this school and community. I am so grateful for the chance to journey with you through your child’s elementary years. Our partnership is something I treasure. It is a rare gift to see the students grow and change through the years, then fondly observe their achievements through middle and high school. With the technology we have today, I can even watch as they receive senior awards and graduate from high school! It is such a blessing!

I look forward to this summer with hesitancy. It will be challenging to say goodbye to co-workers moving into retirement and on to other life adventures. I was grateful to be able to celebrate Ginger and Peggy at the Spring Concert, but we have also learned that Patty Miller (our lunch lady) will be moving to the cities permanently this summer. She has taken a job working in her grandchildren’s school and we are so happy for her. 

New personnel and people taking on new roles provide many opportunities. We look forward to the challenge as we prepare to move into our new building in the fall of 2024 (according to our contractors-still on schedule!). In my effort to learn more about how we can best serve you, I am requesting that you complete the following survey.

Please continue to pray for good weather this summer as we continue to build. Your prayers truly make a difference to us! We are so grateful for the goodwill of our community as we move forward with this historic project. It will continue to challenge us until we see it completed.

May God bless you and your family this summer. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Long nights, bonfires, lake days, and family…summer in Minnesota. So much to be thankful for!

Mrs. Ashley
