Happy Holidays
December 21, 2018
Dear TJ Families,
I would like to wish all of our Thomas Jefferson Elementary parents, students and friends a safe, happy holiday season. I would like to acknowledge the contribution of staff, parents and students to Thomas Jefferson.
Walt Disney once said ‘You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful ideas in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality’. This is certainly the case for me as a principal. The reality is that the learning experiences and projects that have taken place this year could not have happened without a great deal of commitment and support from the staff, parents and students. I am humbled by all who make TJ such a wonderful place to be.
As we conclude 2018 and break for the winter holiday, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who help make Thomas Jefferson an amazing place to be. We are a community with many gifts and talents, which we share daily with one another and most importantly, our students. From the classroom to our living rooms and all points in-between, our collective efforts to raise the whole child are filled with passion, commitment and a willingness to make decisions that may be hard in the present, but will have a positive and lasting influence in the future for all.
Parents, of course, are such a critical part of all we hope to accomplish on behalf of our TJ Stars. I am grateful to you for masterfully doing what I know firsthand is the hardest, most rewarding and joyous job of all. Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious gift. I am grateful to our wonderful, talented, creative, inquisitive, optimistic, resourceful and resilient students. Often, they make us laugh, sometimes they make us question, but always they make us think. Most of all, they make us better.
In the spirit of this holiday season, I want to extend my thanks to all of you for everything that you do for our school. As we enjoy the upcoming holidays, it is my fervent wish that each of you receives and returns the seasonal bounty of blessings and good tidings that make these days truly special. It is also during this time that I am reminded of my own good fortune to serve as the proud principal of Thomas Jefferson.
I am looking forward to seeing the refreshed faces of our TJ family on Tuesday, January 8, 2019.
With great appreciation and deep gratitude, I wish you a happy, healthy and joyous holiday.
Mrs. Kirsten Acke
