This has been a wonderful and exciting year at Fiest. Our students are working hard in their classes and enjoying the many activities we have had this year. Our teachers are dedicated to their students and are taking on many new and exciting techniques to engage and challenge them. The support from our PTO and our many dedicated parent volunteers has never been stronger. And our staff members who have wholeheartedly dedicated themselves to supporting our mission of providing the very best educational environment for students are fabulous. I feel privileged and honored to be able to work in this supportive and amazing community. I am grateful for your help, trust, input and desire to make Fiest the best environment for our children. As the holiday season approaches, I hope you share my goal of taking a breath, being appreciative, and having some meaningful time with family and friends. In education we are thankful for the opportunities to impact young lives. Our students are the reason we re here. Their learning and progress is the school s mission. At Fiest we have much to be thankful for. We first thank our parents; they help in so many ways on a daily basis. At every event, when we need something, there are parents willing to step up and fill the need. I can t tell you how much I appreciate all that you do. You are wonderful!! On behalf of the faculty and staff, I wish to extend my personal wishes for a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
