From The Principal
Collins’ Families,
Who would have thought I would miss so many of the little things here at Collins? I miss opening car doors on cold mornings. I miss directing traffic. I miss going to each classroom and saying good morning. I miss observing awesome learning happening. I miss meetings with staff. I miss passing out milk in the lunchroom. I miss my lunchroom conversations with the students. I miss taking pictures of our students. I miss posting pictures of cool events. I miss guiding students to make the right decisions. I miss the afternoon dismissal crossing the students. I miss the staff. I miss hearing stories of pride form my team. I miss the smiles. I miss the laughs. I miss the hugs. I miss seeing all of your faces.
I know you and your cub have “misses” too. Please take some time to talk with them about the things they miss. Remind them that we will be together again in a place we call our home. Until then, hold them tight, be what you can for them because this is hard. So hard. As parents / guardians we are playing more roles we ever thought we could imagine. Give yourself a break, pat yourself on the back, and hang in there…we are in this together!
Best Regards,
Jena Lenz
Collins’ Principal
