Family Newsletter - 10/7/22

Pennoyer Families, 

This past week our students and staff all did a great job running through our safety drills.  I was so proud of how smoothly everything ran.  We'll certainly continue to improve and build upon our procedures that are focused on creating a safe and secure learning environment for everyone.  Our first week of October was filled with some memorable moments, but one that I was personally so excited to be proud of was our newly formed Principal's Crew.  This was an idea I came up with this year with the support of our incredible staff.  A select group of 3rd-8th graders were chosen by their teachers to represent not only their grade levels,  but all of the students at Pennoyer.  We had our first meeting during their lunch/recess time this past Thursday, and we'll continue to meet moving forward at least once a month so this group of special students can have time with me to work on transforming Pennoyer into the best school possible for each and every student.  They already came up with so many incredible ideas!!!

We Celebrate at Pennoyer!

October 2nd was National Custodial Workers Day, so I wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate our incredible crew we have here at Pennoyer.  Alain, Carmen, George, and Angelica are so dedicated to their work each and every day, and I know how lucky we are to have them at our school.  They work long hours, often putting in overtime, and keep our school functioning and clean day in and day out.  They do all of this with smiles on their faces and a positive attitude that not only our staff, but our students feel as well.  I couldn't be more proud to work with these four individuals.  Thanks for everything you do!!!
