Welcome Back!
Dear Garrison Mill Families,
Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year! I am truly thrilled to begin my first year serving as principal at Garrison Mill. Dr. Stasiak and I pledge to continue the excellence that defines Garrison Mill. We are a child-centered school with high achievement from our students, innovative instruction from our staff and exceptional support from our parents.
Our mission at Garrison Mill is to provide a safe, caring environment in which children can succeed and become productive members of society. Our teachers recognize the fact that while we are teaching the children of today, the reality is that we are shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Our educational program addresses the needs of all children through a collaborative effort of staff, parents and community support.
This year we welcome Dr. Vicki Stasiak as our new Assistant Principal. Dr. Stasiak has four years of previous administrative experience at Murdock Elementary and I am looking forward to working closely with her this year. Other new staff members include Jill Clark in first grade, Kerri Gatlin in third grade, Audra James in fourth grade and Jeannie Moore as a half-time kindergarten teacher.
I look forward to working with all of our Garrison Mill families this year. I maintain an "open door" policy and invite you to contact myself or Vicki Stasiak if you have questions or need any assistance.
Sincerely,
Paula Huffman
Principal
