    I am beyond honored to serve as the Principal of Cypress Springs Elementary.  The smiles and laughter that filled our building today was uplifting. Thank you for making our end-of-year memorable and special.

    Many have asked if I am ready for summer and my response has been not really.  I do not want this awesomeness to end (although the 4:30 wake-ups can be tough)!  This summer I will miss the hugs, high fives, the moment when a learner finally got it, and the smiles.  I will be busily preparing for the return of you all in August.  Enjoy your summer break with family and friends!

    Families, we appreciate your continuous support and encouragement.  Staff, I cannot thank you enough for your commitment to excellence and the manner in which you love our precious children.  They know how much you care because they did not want to leave today.  To the children of Cypress Springs, you each have impacted us, adults, in marvelous ways and we are proud of each and every one of you.  Keep reaching to be the best versions of yourselves each and every day.  Also, please remember to show integrity in all that you do.  You are all so loved!

    We hope everyone had a fabulous first week of May!  Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures in our children’s lives.  We are thankful for you!

    This month we are learning about Habit 8: Find your voice.  People who have found their voice focus on expanding their circle of influence, being trustworthy, building trust, blending the voices of others, and creating a common vision.  They align goals and systems and empower others. Great achievers express their voice by developing their vision, discipline, passion, and conscience.  They recognize, respect, and create meaningful opportunities for others to express their voices.

    Kid Language

    I have found something that I am good at and really like doing.  I am proud but do not boast.  Instead, I use my expertise to help and inspire others. Use this Habit 8 Brainstormer and Questions to organize your thoughts.  

     

    1. See you tomorrow morning at 7:15 am for OUR LAST Cypress Sprinters! All parents are welcome to join too.  We are asking that PreK-1st parents please come and stay with their children. Please park in the visitors’ parking lot and come around the back of the school to the track. Please avoid entering through the building. See you on the track!
