Principal's Message

Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.
- Howard Zinn

Dear Teddies,

Over the last two weeks, I have seen wonderful examples of small acts from students, families, and staff that make our small corner of the world a better place.

From our homecoming week fun, organized primarily by students, to the way our community members wrap their collective arms around a family in need, I am inspired and humbled.

Thank you, all of you, for raising a community of incredible, thoughtful, caring, kind human beings.

May you have a restful, reflective weekend,

Principal Ledesma
Pequeños actos, multiplicados por millones de personas, pueden transformar el mundo.
-Howard Zinn

Queridos Teddies,

Durante las últimas dos semanas, he visto maravillosos ejemplos de pequeños actos de estudiantes, familias y personal que hacen de nuestro pequeño rincón del mundo un lugar mejor.

Desde nuestra divertida semana de Homecoming, organizada principalmente por estudiantes, hasta la forma en que los miembros de nuestra comunidad abrazan colectivamente a una familia necesitada, me siento inspirado y honrado.

Gracias a todos por formar una comunidad de seres humanos increíbles, reflexivos, afectuosos y amables.

Que tengan un fin de semana tranquilo y reflexivo.

Director Ledesma
Ficilada yaryar, marka lagu dhufto malaayiin qof, waxay bedeli karaan adduunka.
- Howard Zinn

Gacaliye Teddies,

Labadii toddobaad ee u dambeeyay, waxaan arkay tusaalayaal cajiib ah oo falal yaryar ah oo ka yimid ardayda, qoysaska, iyo shaqaalaha kuwaas oo ka dhigaya geeskeena yar ee aduunka meel ka wanaagsan.

Laga soo bilaabo madadaalada usbuuca soo laabashadayada, oo ay ugu horrayn soo abaabulaan ardaydu, ilaa habka xubnaha bulshadeena ugu duubaan gacmahooda wadajirka ah ee qoyska u baahan, waxaa i dhiirigeliya oo is-hoosaysiiya.

Waad ku mahadsan tihiin, dhammaantiin, kor u qaadida bulsho bini'aadam ah oo cajiib ah, fikir badan, daryeel leh, naxariis leh.

Allow isbuuc nasasho leh, oo milicsi leh,

Ledesma maamulaha
