Principal's Corner

Welcome to the 2018-2019 School Year!

A New Year of Igniting Superpowers!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We have many exciting things happening this school year. Last year, we “Preparing Leaders for the World!” This year we are ”Igniting our Superpowers!  Our preparation begins with the teaching of Sean Coveys’ 7 Habits of Happy Kids. As we develop leaders, our goal is to provide students with leadership opportunities within our school and give them the tools to make sound decisions, which will help them be successful in life. We are excited about our leadership day in March. We have been afforded a wonderful learning opportunity for our students through the program Leader in Me that was funded by a grant we received for this school year with funding opportunities for the next 5 years. 

 I'd like to thank several supports who made The Leader in Me possible:

I Am A Leader Foundation

Franklin Covey Co.-Chad Smith and Franklin Covey

Wind Creek Entertainment

ALSDE Regional Office ASU-Dr. Evelyn Hodge

County Commissioner Rhonda Walker

Heather Davis, Business Partner

In addition to the above, we will continue to roll out our parent action teams and parent Lighthouse Team.  We will have a series of parent meetings at night and during the day. We recognize the importance of a strong partnership between home and school. It is strongly encouraged that each of you becomes involved with our wonderful school.

 Please take part in all of the fun-filled learning opportunities with your child at Garrett. We need your support in order for our students to reach their maximum success. Please ignite your superpowers at our school by join our parent and community teams and participate in our fun-filled family/community events. Welcome and we look forward to a wonderful school year.

Remember—HAVE A GRRRRREAT GARRETT DAY!!!!!! 

Sincerely,

Anissha B. Officer, Principal
