Dear Tubman Families,

As we approach the winter break, I want to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. The holiday season is a time for celebration, reflection, and togetherness, and I hope it brings you moments of joy and connection.

Our school community is truly special, and your support plays a crucial role in creating a positive and enriching environment for our students. Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children.

May this holiday season be filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories with family and friends. As we look forward to the new year, I am grateful for the partnership we share in nurturing the growth and success of our students. Thank you for being an essential part of the Tubman family.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!
