A Message From Mrs. O'Shaughnessy
Well, here we are, the last weekly newsletter for 2023! Hard to believe that we are ready to start a new year.
One of the most unique things about the school year, is you celebrate two "New Years". September is a new grade, new school year, and January 1 brings us a new calendar year. I like to think of it as two opportunities to start fresh. Who doesn't love that!
This first half of the school year has been wonderful. PS 88Q thrives because of the amazing staff and wonderful families. Each day, I count my blessings, and recognize what I am grateful for, and finding myself in this amazing community at this time, is always on my list.
As we close out this calendar year, I want to wish all of you a happy, healthy and peaceful break.
