​Hello MAS families. We have had a great week here at MAS! I cannot truly put into words how much joy was seen on the residents of York Care’s faces as the students walked around waving and yelling hellos. It was beyond touching and meaningful for all involved.

We also saw our wonderful butterflies take flight and join us on the playground. It was an exciting and proud moment as they were released!

News to Share- I would like to share with you that I have been offered and accepted the Principal position at Forest Hill Elementary School which will begin in the 2021 -2022 school year. I cannot say enough of how blessed I have been to be a part of such a great school community and been able to serve all of your children for the past 4 years.  I value each and every one of you and how supportive you have been of me and my leadership.  This was not an easy decision and while I am reluctant and sad to leave this school, I am doing what I encourage others to do and taking a chance on a new opportunity and experience. We have three wonderful weeks left in the school year and I am looking forward to finishing strong, supporting teachers and student learning, having lots of fun, and promise to ensure the person who replaces me knows about the many wonderful things that are happening here and the small but mighty school they will becoming a part of.
