A Message from Your Principal, Mr. Frew

Dear Ross Families,

As we head into the winter break, we want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly special and joy-filled season at Ross Elementary. Over the past few weeks, our school has been filled with music, laughter, kindness, and a strong sense of togetherness. From classroom celebrations to school-wide events, it has been wonderful to see our students shining and our community coming together in such meaningful ways.

We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of our families. Your involvement, generosity, and encouragement help make Ross the warm, caring, and connected place that it is. Our staff are deeply appreciative of the trust you place in us each day, and we are proud of the growth, effort, and joy our students have shown throughout this term.

As you enjoy the holiday break, we hope it brings your family time to rest, reconnect, and celebrate in ways that are meaningful to you. We wish you peace, happiness, and many moments of joy over the season.

Thank you for being such an important part of the Ross community. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, refreshed and ready for another great chapter together.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
