Dear FJC Families,
As another school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the privilege of spending each day with your incredible children. Thank you for entrusting us with their learning, their growth, and their hearts. It is a responsibility we cherish, and one we never take for granted.
Throughout this year, we’ve had the honor of watching your children grow in so many meaningful ways. We’ve seen the frustrations that come with challenge, the joy that accompanies discovery, and the remarkable kindness that defines our school community. These shared experiences have shaped not just our students, but all of us lucky enough to walk beside them.
As we stand on the hill for our final wave goodbye (perhaps FJC’s most bittersweet tradition) we are reminded just how special this community is. Success in schools takes a team, and our team of teachers, staff, families, and students is truly second to none. Together, we’ve created a place where children feel safe, supported, and celebrated.
We hope you and your family have a joyful and restful summer filled with fun, laughter, and time together.
To our second graders: we are so proud of you. We can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you’ll do at JAE and beyond.
To our returning students: we’ll be waiting with big smiles in September, ready to begin another wonderful year.
And to our incoming kindergartners: welcome! We can’t wait to begin this exciting journey with you.
From all of us at FJC: thank you, have a fantastic summer, and we’ll see you soon!
Gratefully yours,
Mr. Westerlund & Ms. Pletka
