Happy New Year!

New Year's Day is the first day of the calendar year. It is celebrated as a holiday in almost every country in the world. It is a time of gaiety, sharing with friends, remembering the past, and hoping for good things in the future.
January is a very productive time in schools. I like to call it "the meat and potato" time of the school year. All of the holiday distractions are over and we are all well rested and ready to go. We now have a stretch of mostly uninterrupted teaching time!
As a school faculty, we have been working quite hard to improve academic achievement. Coming together as a new school, making changes, working towards a common goal ~ using teamwork, cooperation, determination, and executing it well, have been critical elements for success. I am very pleased with the progress we have made up to this point and look forward to watching as the remainder of the year unfolds.
On behalf of the staff at Fred Assam Elementary, I would like to extend a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all of our school families. Susan Foster ~ Principal
