Fall Break

 

Dear Thomas Jefferson Families and Friends,

I often take time at this time of year to reflect on the past year's challenges and successes; this always leads me to a place of humility and gratitude.  I spend many an evening reflecting and writing in my journal celebrating the many things I am thankful for. 

My list of what I am thankful for is endless and includes many things here at Thomas Jefferson. I have been humbled beyond belief this fall, after the last year and a half I count being a part of TJ as one of my greatest blessings.

I am thankful for:

• Children who love learning and life and are willing to share smiles and laughter, hugs, fist bumps, and high fives.
• Children who persevere when faced with adversity and embrace a challenge with an open heart and open mind.
• The strong sense of family and unity in our school community.
• Supportive families, who have partnered with our staff to help all children learn and grow in all areas of their lives.
• The values and traditions that continue to be a part of this school community.
• Thomas Jefferson teachers and staff whose love and concern for our students goes well beyond what can be measured in a test and reported in a school report card.
• A community of learners and leaders who are all RISING to success.
• The true joy that comes from being the Principal of Thomas Jefferson Elementary School.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May you also be able to experience the joys of this well deserved break.

Sincerely,
Kirsten Acke
