Dear Students and Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Glenn Dale Elementary! I hope your summer was filled with joy, adventure, and memorable moments. As we embark on the 2024-2025 school year, I am thrilled to introduce our theme: "Above and Beyond: Soaring to Excellence." This theme captures our commitment to focusing on growth and striving for excellence in every aspect of our educational journey.

At Glenn Dale Elementary, we believe that striving for excellence means emphasizing growth over perfection. We recognize that while we are not perfect, each of us has immense potential. We encourage our students to embrace mistakes as valuable learning opportunities that will foster both personal and academic development. Remember, our goal is to continually learn, grow, and do our very best.

This year promises to be filled with new adventures, academic challenges, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with friends and teachers. We will dive into intriguing topics, engage in stimulating discussions, and embark on a journey of discovery together.

We are eager to begin this new school year and are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make this year extraordinary as we work together to achieve greatness.

Warmest regards,

Ms. Porterfield
Principal
Glenn Dale Elementary School
