November is upon us and as we prepare for a change in season, our hope is that our families enjoyed the end of October with our first-ever Trunk-or-Treat and our campus Storybook Character Parade. It was great to see students dressed in costumes and our families enjoying both of our events. A big thank you goes out to our teachers and staff who worked hard to help provide a fun environment for our students and families.
This is such a wonderful time of the year. I love celebrating holidays and seeing the excitement and energy in our students and staff. It’s hard to imagine that we are close to our winter season. Already our days are shorter and the cooler weather is thinking about settling in. I want to remind all families to dress for the weather. Please remember to label your student’s belongings with their names so that they are located and returned when misplaced.
We have a lot to be grateful for here at Menchaca Early Childhood Center. We have a wonderful, caring staff from our child nutrition department, our custodians, our paraprofessionals, our office staff, and all of our fantastic teachers. I know I am grateful every day for the opportunity to work with all of them and I know your little ones are in good hands.
We have a supportive community with wonderful and giving parents, to which we all say thank you for all that you do! Finally, we have incredible students, who challenge themselves every day to learn and be engaged. They are why we are here every day!
You make my role as the principal a joy through your commitment to your children and our school. I wish you a wonderful month of November and a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Tanya Mares
Principal, Menchaca Early Childhood Center
