Dear Simonton Families,

The month of February is an exciting time within our classrooms. Teachers and students are engaging in multiple learning activities. The activities will highlight our state’s Centennial birthday, influential presidents on President’s Day, as well as Valentine’s Day, which provides a time for us to remember and acknowledge the special people in all of our lives.

Throughout the month of February, we will be hosting a school-wide paper drive. Our school goal is to collect 100 reams of copy paper. If the Simonton community can collect 100 reams of paper, Mr. Cover and Mrs. Whitlark will hold a special school-wide assembly to honor the support of the community!

I would like to remind the Simonton community to continue to recognize our amazing staff. At the very bottom of the last page of this month’s newsletter, you will find a Stallion Staff Acknowledgement Form. I encourage all parents to recognize the Simonton staff member who has made a difference for your child. This is an ongoing recognition program that everyone is encouraged to participate in.

Thank you for sending your children to Simonton! It is my honor to serve as your principal. Vanessa Whitlark You can always reach me by email or by phone, 480-987-5330.

Sincerely,

Vanessa Whitlark

Vanessa Whitlark
