Principal’s Message
May 10, 2018
School is almost out!!! The last day for students will be May 23, 2018.
As you begin to consider summer plans, I encourage you to make a few memories with your child/ren this summer. A memory does not have to be an expensive trip or experience, instead consider alternatives-perhaps a lemonade stand, a solar oven made from a cardboard box, a chalk mural, a nature walk/scavenger hunt, or a bicycle ride. I have thoroughly enjoyed SY 17/18. The year gives me fond memories from Kiss-n-Ride, Prize Patrol, Movie Night, Math Night, Field Day, etc. Although I will return to as the Instructional Systems Specialist for the South Carolina/Fort Stewart Community in the near future and will no longer serve as the intern prin-cipal for Diamond Elementary School, I will continue to make routine “Gator” visits during SY 18/19. As Dr. Seuss wrote, “Sometimes You Never Know the Value a Moment Until it Become a Memory.”
Lastly, I also want to close out the year by saying thank you to all of our fabulous volunteers during the SY 17/18. The DES PTO has been especially kind in their support for staff and students. Your support makes a much stronger Diamond Elementary School. We appreciate all you do and look forward to working with all our parents next school year.
As always, we thank you for your continued support. Diamond Gators Rock!!!
Sincerely,
Rachel Brumbaugh
