From the Principal…

Dear Parents,

Kerkstra Elementary School has a tradition of educational excellence. I am extremely proud of our school and know that our success is no secret. Nor, has it happened by chance. The faculty and staff are the soul of our school and they are master teachers and hard working individuals that always put children first! The community's support of our school makes all the difference and I thank you for being there on so many levels. We set a powerful example for the children when we work together.

Our commitment to the vision of the school remains strong. We continue to produce strong test scores (outcome data), but realize that education is more than just a number. As you know, Kerkstra has strong ties to the community. We complete several service projects each year designed to make the school, local and global communities a better place through our efforts and I want to assure you that the students understand and are proud of their work.

Your children bring great joy to me and not a day goes by that I don't feel fortunate. In the principal's office I hear funny stories, dry tears and celebrate successes. I am proud of the students and the seriousness with which they approach their job as students. A warm, caring community that values education only makes my days that much more rewarding. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas.

Kind regards,

Dr. Lori J. Wazny
Principal
