Dear Elden Students, Families, and Staff,

Photo of 3 kids The arrival of a brand-new school year always brings a unique wave of excitement, and I am thrilled to welcome you all back to Elden! As I look ahead to the adventures waiting for us, I can’t help but smile thinking about the memories we just left behind. Watching our school turn yellow for Daffodil Day, seeing everyone come together for Inclusive Spirit Week, and feeling the unmatched energy during our Building-Wide Assemblies reminded me of just how lucky I am to lead this school. Those moments of pure joy and community are what make being an Elden Eagle so special.

I hope your summer break provided plenty of time to rest, recharge, and make memories of your own. My own summer was a wonderful blend of preparation and family fun. While I spent plenty of time in our quiet hallways getting ready for September, I also made sure to cherish every minute with Luca, Sonny, Bianca, and of course, Reddi! Our family highlights definitely included an action-packed trip to Great Wolf Lodge and a beautiful getaway to Lake Placid, where we all got to cheer on my dad as he played lacrosse.

Now, my focus is entirely on the incredible year stretching out before us. To our returning Eagles: I cannot wait to see how much you have grown. To the new students and families joining us for the very first time: welcome to the nest! We are also thrilled to introduce some fantastic new staff members to our team.

There is a magical feeling in the air when the building fills back up with life. This year, our goal remains the same: to create a space where every single student feels safe, valued, and motivated to reach new heights. Together—with our remarkable staff, supportive families, and brilliant students—there is nothing we cannot achieve. Together we help every Eagle soar!

Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication. Let's make this our best year yet!

Warmly,

Ms. Fiorini
Principal
