Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s edition of the News and Views. It was a short week but a full three days with much to celebrate.
We have reason to celebrate as we reflect on the incredible success of the recently concluded Pharaoh’s Cup competition. It was an extraordinary event showcasing our student-athletes remarkable talents and unwavering spirit. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every parent who graciously hosted our visiting athletes. Your warmth, support, and willingness to open your home to our visiting athletes made this competition special. Your kindness and hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere that fostered camaraderie and friendship among all participants. Your efforts exemplify the spirit of community and sportsmanship we hold dear.
A special shout-out goes to our invaluable Booster Club for their tireless efforts in providing delicious meals and refreshments throughout the competition. Your dedication to ensuring our athletes were well-nourished fueled the athletes’ performances and strengthened the bonds within our school community.
Furthermore, we are immensely grateful to our outstanding athletic department for their meticulous organization and execution of the Pharaosh’s Cup. Their commitment to excellence shines through in every detail, from scheduling the events to coordinating logistics. Their tireless efforts have made this competition a resounding success and a memorable experience for all involved.
Lastly, we applaud our incredible athletes who poured their hearts and souls into every competition. You represented our school with pride, determination, and the spirit of sportsmanship; it was remarkable to witness. Your performances were outstanding, and your dedication to your respective sports is truly inspiring. We are proud of how you represented our school with pride and grace; it is a testament to your character and the values we strive to instill in students.

Thank you for all your contributions; we continue to have a thriving and supportive school community because of your collective efforts.
Thank you to Ms. Ereeny and the PTO for organizing the GSS luncheon. This event was initiated by one of our former students, and it is good to see it has continued to grow over the years. I know when I saw they appreciate the gesture and the appreciation that is shown.
I want to thank the PTO for organizing the Faculty and Staff Luncheon. Your efforts to show how much you appreciate the faculty and staff are enjoyed by all. Thank you for all you do.
