Ms. James Goodbye

Dear Lakewood Parents,

Imagine a garden where every plant has been nurtured with care, where each blossom holds a story of growth. That’s how I see our Lakewood community. Today, I write to you, not as the Assistant Principal, but as someone deeply grateful to have been part of this vibrant garden.

Stepping into my role at Lakewood, I envisioned fostering a space where our children could flourish, where their dreams would take root and bloom. This vision has been enriched by your unwavering support, your trust, and your active participation in our shared mission. Together, we’ve seen incredible growth in our students—not just academically, but in their character, their curiosity, and their kindness.

Life, however, is a series of chapters, and it’s time for me to turn the page. I’m stepping down as your Assistant Principal, a decision made with both a heavy heart and an optimistic spirit. I am confident that Lakewood’s Garden will continue to thrive.

As I step away, know that my appreciation for this community and my belief in its potential remain undiminished. I’ll carry with me the lessons learned from each of you and your remarkable children. Your stories, hopes, and dreams have left an indelible mark on my heart.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives and for being the extraordinary community that you are. I leave with cherished memories and immense gratitude.

Warm regards,

Ms. James
