Challenger Families,
As I sit in my office, waiting to celebrate our 3rd grade students at their holiday performance (Thank you, Mrs. Hillaker!), I am reflecting on our Challenger family. I am speechless. These last few months have been a blend of fun, busy, and challenging - but yet our community never fails to come together to support kids and do what is best for families. As a principal, I am truly humbled.
I am grateful for the team we have at Challenger. We are lucky to have a network of skilled teachers, supportive parents, and ambitious kids that make me smile every day. We have a spirit second-to-none - baking cookies for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, making blankets for kids fighting childhood cancer, sending cards to troops overseas, and participating in a local food drive. Partnering with families and community organizations is one of the many things about Challenger I am proud of as a principal.
As we head into our first major holiday break, please take some time to rest, relax, enjoy the company of family and friends, and reflect on a great year. We are excited and ready to start a new semester. We appreciate you and thank you for partnering with us to support all students!
Educationally yours,
Dave Cherry
