Dear Red Elephant Family:

I'd like to close the school year by thanking each of you for your hard work and dedication to the students we serve within the Gainesville City School System.  It seems like just yesterday that we met in the Gainesville Middle School gym for our opening "Prep Rally".  It has been a pleasure meeting and getting to know many of you. 

It is all of us working together for the sake of our students that makes the Red Elephant Nation such an exceptional place for students to learn.  One of the best aspects of my job has been to visit schools, classrooms and departments within the district where I continually see models of excellence.  I look forward to being able to visit even more with you next year. 

I know that you are tired right now.  I hope that the time away will allow you to rejuvenate and refresh your mind, body and soul.  Thank you for all that you have done to make this a ONE-derful year!    I am so proud to be a part of this family! 

I wish each of you a fun-filled, safe and truly relaxing summer!  See you soon!

Kind regards,
