Weekly Family Update 5/21/18

May 21, 2018

Greetings CLA-EAST Families!

As I sit at my desk and write this final weekly parent update of the 2017-2018, many thoughts, memories and emotions come to mind. As the building leader, I can only be proud of the progress and success of our scholars. What seems like only a few weeks ago you were sending your child to become a middle school scholar not fully understanding what to expect. Together we have watched them all grow into a responsibly-independent young people, and even though we all have come so far I am excited about what lies ahead of us.

The spring Celebration of Learning was a big success and the scholars were excited to showcase their work. Thank you for making it a special event for our school.

The final agenda for the spring trip to Geneva Hills will be sent home with eligible scholars on Monday. If you have any questions about this or anything else, please feel free to contact the school. Let’s all have a great week.

Yours in Education,

Ricardo Franklin, Sr.

Founding Principal
