Dear Stearne Families,
Welcome back to a brand-new school year! I am excited and humbled to continue serving as your principal and to walk alongside each of you as partners in your child’s education. At Stearne, we don’t just see ourselves as a school; we are a family made up of families, educators, and students all working together. We are proud of the relationships we’ve built with you, and we are committed to strengthening those bonds even more this year. Our families are the heart of everything we do, and we are thrilled to share in this journey with you.
Over the past few years, we’ve made tremendous progress as a school community. Our scholars have shown consistent academic growth, a direct result of their hard work, the dedication of our teachers, and the support you provide at home. We’ve also made strong gains in attendance, ensuring that more of our students are present, engaged, and ready to learn each day. These improvements are not just numbers; they represent real opportunities for our children to grow, achieve, and build confidence in themselves. Together, we’ve created momentum, and this year, we plan to keep it going.
This year, our focus is on doing M.O.R.E. Mindset (Motivated in Excellence), Outstanding, Resilience, and Elevation. These words are not just a slogan; they are a promise. They remind us that our scholars can accomplish anything with the right mindset, that we will always strive to be outstanding in both effort and achievement, that resilience will carry us through challenges, and that elevation is about lifting each other higher every day. By living these values in our classrooms, hallways, and homes, we can ensure that every child knows they are capable of greatness.
As we begin this school year, I want to leave you with this: each day is a fresh opportunity for growth. Let’s challenge ourselves, celebrate every success big or small, and push forward with the belief that our children’s best days are ahead of them. With your continued support, there is no limit to what we can accomplish together. Let’s make this year one filled with excellence, resilience, and elevation. Let’s do M.O.R.E. for our scholars and for our community.
With pride and purpose,
Principal Orange
