Dear Newton Community School District,
Happy New Year! I hope this letter finds you rested, recharged, and ready for an exciting journey into 2024.
The dawn of a new year signifies fresh opportunities and a chance to redefine our path. As we collectively step into 2024, I extend a hearty welcome to all members of our Red Pride community—returning students, parents, teachers, and staff alike.
This is a time for renewal, a blank canvas awaiting the strokes of our collective efforts. Reflecting on our past achievements, learning from experiences, and setting new goals are integral to the journey ahead. Each of you contributes uniquely to the vibrancy of our school community, and I am excited to witness the growth that will unfold over the coming months.
New beginnings bring with them optimism and the promise of countless possibilities. Let us embrace this spirit as we encourage one another to reach new heights and unlock our fullest potential.
In the spirit of Red Pride, let's make 2024 a year of unity, strength, and celebration. Our Newton Community School District is a diverse tapestry of talents, ideas, and backgrounds, and it is this diversity that makes us stronger. Together, let's celebrate our differences, learn from each other, and create an inclusive and supportive environment for all.
Here's to a fantastic year filled with growth, achievement, and joy—carrying forward the legacy of Red Pride!
Warm regards,
Jen Wiebel
