Dear Stallion Families,


As we continue working together to make this school year a success, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your patience and flexibility as we finalize the leveling of our kindergarten classes. Your support has allowed us to create more balanced and ideal learning environments for all our students. We are thrilled to welcome our new teachers, Ms. Primus and Ms. Campbell, to our kindergarten team.


We’re also looking forward to our Hispanic Heritage celebration tonight! This special event has been made possible through the dedication and hard work of our parents in the Dual Language PTA, and we can’t wait to celebrate the beauty and richness of Hispanic culture together.


In addition, we recently had the pleasure of celebrating our outstanding custodial crew, led by Mr. Pineda, on National Custodian’s Day. Their tireless efforts in keeping our building clean, safe, and welcoming every day do not go unnoticed, and we are so fortunate to have such a dedicated team.


As always, I am grateful to be part of this incredible Lakewood community, where our families, staff, and students come together to create a warm, supportive, and thriving environment. Thank you for all that you do to make our school the best it can be!


Stallion Strong,

Brittany Thompson
