text: Welcome to our school! It is with great excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the newly appointed Principal of Annunciata School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school community with such great teachers, students and parents.
  I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than twelve years. I earned my Masters Degree in Education and started my career at Annunciata as a Third Grade teacher and continued as a Junior High teacher and Vice Principal. I was honored to receive the Eastside Chamber of Commerce “Excellence in Teaching” Award for the 2019 school year. I also possess a MBA in Business Administration and held both management and district management positions before I entered the education field. I am excited to continue to bring my skills as an educational leader to Annunciata and to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child’s success.
  Along with teachers and staff, I will work hard to continue the success established at Annunciata, by building strong relationships with parents, students, and the new parish community.
  To our students, I cannot wait to see you all, whether it be in person or virtually! I hope that you are excited for this coming school year and that you have enjoyed your summer. Although the school year will look different, it is going to be a fun year learning together.
  As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who walks through our doors--teachers, students and parents--feel welcome here! I look forward to meeting all of you and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.
  Annunciata is a faith-filled environment that allows students to feel safe and secure. Our classrooms provide a 1:17 environment that allows students to experience more one-on-one time with their teacher. Also, we have introduced the i-Ready online learning tool to our curriculum to allow for blended learning in our classrooms for all students from Kindergarten through Grade 8. Annunciata is truly a great place to learn and to grow.
