Cowan Blackhawk families,
As we approach the final stretch of this academic year, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. It's a responsibility we hold dear and take very seriously.
Your support throughout the school year has been invaluable. Whether it's volunteering in the classroom, chaperoning field trips, or contributing to school events, your willingness to step up and help in so many different ways has truly made a difference in the lives of our students and the success of our school community.
Moreover, I want to commend you for your ongoing interest and involvement in your child's education. Your partnership with us in nurturing and guiding your child's academic and personal growth is deeply appreciated. It's evident that your commitment to their education is unwavering, and that is something truly special.
I am incredibly proud of all that we have accomplished together this school year. It has been a joy to witness the progress and growth of each and every student. From academic achievements to personal milestones, our students have flourished in so many ways, and it's a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire school community.
As we embark on the final leg of this journey, I encourage you to continue to support and encourage your child to finish strong both academically and behaviorally. With your continued guidance and encouragement, I have no doubt that our students will rise to the occasion and finish the school year on a high note.
Once again, thank you for your unwavering support, dedication, and partnership. Together, we have made this school year truly exceptional, and I am grateful for each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Lendon D. Schwartz
