Dear Simonton Families,

It is hard to believe that the 2011-2012 school year is nearly complete and summer vacation is upon us! We have had a fantastic school year and achieved a lot on our Stampede to Success! As I reflect back on the school year, I am excited to share that our community has established a partnership that provides our students and their families with the best educational opportunities possible and instilled in them the love for learning. Our school celebrated student successes all year long through: quarterly academic award assemblies, character lunches, AR quarterly celebrations, and monthly character assemblies, to name just a few. With the support of the PTO, we held many different family events from the Back to School Luau, Diamondback Family Game Night, Family Game and Movie Nights, Spring Fling Dance, and much more. We have very involved families; thank you for supporting our school!

I have truly enjoyed getting to know the students, staff, and parents in our school community. Thank you for welcoming me into this community and making feel me at home! I am looking forward to another great school year!

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

Have a wonderful Summer Break see you in August!!

Go Stallions!

              Vanessa Whitlark   

Sincerely,

Vanessa Whitlark
