A Note from Principal Farrington Dear Birchview Families,
Happy Spring Break! The last 12 months have been incredibly challenging, yet rewarding for us all. While life has changed in many ways, we continue to learn and grow. Spring Break is a great time for us to step away and recharge. I know that I am looking forward to unplugging and spending time with my family, just the four of us! I hope that you take some time to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy this time away with your family and friends.
I would also like to take this time to say thank you. Thank you for continuing to trust us with your child. Thank you for being patient and understanding as we continue to navigate this school year. Thank you for all your support. I am feeling especially grateful for our incredible Birchview community.
On behalf of the Birchview staff, have a safe and restful Spring Break. We look forward to seeing everyone on April 12th!
We are Birchview Strong!
With gratitude, Mr. Farrington
