Dear Parents,
It is amazing how quickly the school year has flown by. We are a few weeks away from the beginning of summer vacation, which every student looks forward to for at least two weeks. I am sure that parents will provide many opportunities for their students to read, write, and do a little math. That summer trip will allow them to become more aware of history, science, and geography. Encourage them to get a map and trace the route you will travel, whether across town or across the country. Compute the cost of gas, the miles you expect to travel, the cost of lodging, the fees for a trip to Sea World, Disneyland, or other fun places you may plan to visit. This is a relaxing time to visit the local park, go for a walk, take a bike ride, or just have a swim in a local pool. Doing things together as a family generates memories that last the rest of your life. Summer is a great time for the whole family. Thanks for a great year.
Please accept my personal thanks to the parents and students of Del Cerro. It has been a wonderful year of learning and working together. Our PTA has done some incredible things for our students and our school community. A special thanks to Julie Fretwell, our PTA President and her very able Officers who have lead by example. The have worked hard all year long, starting in August and continuing till the last day of school. No task has been left undone, no detail not completed and every event was a success for everyone in attendance. Del Cerro could not have the success we enjoy without our incredible parents.
The teachers at Del Cerro are outstanding. They go the “extra-mile” consistently to ensure that students have the best opportunities to learn. They spend their time and their resources to provide learning experiences that students and parents never forget. It has been a great year and they are a primary reason that students achieve at such high levels across every grade level. They are going on a summer break and it is well-deserved. We expect to return next year recharged and ready for another great year.
Best wishes to our four retiring teachers, Mrs. Debbie Peasland, Mrs. Barbara Cunningham, Miss Sue Edelstein, and Mr. Bruce Teel, who have served our youth so well for so many years. They are a credit to their profession and some of Del Cerro and La Tierra’s finest. I am confident they will enjoy their retirement.
Happy Summer and see you next school year!!!
