Dear Northwest Families,
As we head into the holiday season, I’ve been thinking about how much we’ve already experienced together this school year. From the excitement of the first day to everything that has happened since, it felt like a good time to pause and reflect. I put those thoughts into a short poem below to help capture this moment in our year.
We began our year with a red carpet rolled wide,
Big smiles, brave steps, and Northwest pride.
New classrooms buzzing, ideas taking flight,
Projects and learning from morning to night.
We boarded the buses, explored far and near,
Making memories that will last all year.
Through noise and dust, with patience and cheer,
We weathered construction together, right here.
Now lights softly glow and the season is near,
A time for reflection, for hope, and good cheer.
Thank you, families, for all that you do—
From our Northwest family, warm wishes to you.
Thank you for being such an important part of our Northwest story. Your support, flexibility, and trust mean more than you know. I hope this poem (composed by ChatGPT using my prompts) captures just a small piece of the pride and gratitude I feel as we head into the holidays. Wishing you and your family a joyful, restful Christmas and a wonderful start to the new year.
Yours in education,
Craig Munro
