Dear Families,

As many of you know, I have decided to retire from my position as principal of Excelsior School this June.  This was a very difficult decision for me.  This school and district have become a family to me and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching our families grow.  It is heartwarming to check in with many of you to find out how your children have matured into young adults through high school and college. With that said, I know in my heart that it is time to move on to new opportunities.  I will truly miss everyone.

Now for our many, many end of the year activities and events.  I am listing them below and encourage you to read your weekly E-Wednesday folder for more information.  I have also attached copies of our most recent newsletters as well as the supply lists for the 2012-13 school year.  

Warmest Regards and wishes for a wonderful summer...

Diane Duncan
