Forest Avenue Families,
With the end of the school year approaching quickly, I want to take this opportunity to reflect on the incredible journey that our students have taken this year. From the classroom to the playground, while engaging in academics, or learning all about the Leaves of Citizenship character traits, they have done an amazing job and grown so much! To the members of our fourth grade, you deserve an extra special shout-out having led the way. Over the course of their time here at Forest Ave, our fourth graders have done a great job!I know that I speak for the entire staff when I say that we are proud of you and look forward to giving you a special send off during the Budding Scholars Ceremony on June 18".
I also want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the parents of our Home & School Association for all their hard work. Once again, they have done an outstanding job in support of our school community. Thank you to our board members for their leadership and support: Raquel Marotta (President), Allie Wardwell (Vice Presidents), Anette Hermann and Jennifer Lewis (Co-Secretaries), and Angela McAuliffe (Treasurer). They provided us with so many memorable events this year including the Fun Run, the Book Fair, Bingo Night, and Fun Day just to name a few. Thanks to their fundraising efforts, and your generosity, they were able to fund all student field trips and events. On behalf of our entire staff, I also want to thank them for an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week along with all of the other kind gestures and the support that they have provided to our school community throughout the year!
As I close out my final message as principal of Forest Avenue School I do so with tremendous gratitude to the students, families, and staff that have had the privilege of working with over the past eighteen years. Thank you for all your kindness, dedication, and the support that you have shown me over the years. I have been fortunate to be part of such a wonderful school community. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your principal. As I depart, I will take with me so many fond memories and will be forever thankful for all the friendships that I have made along the way.
Sincerely,
David Champigny
Principal Forest Ave School
