¡Hola familias de Robert Warren!
As we head into Winter Break, we want to thank our students for an incredible final week of
school. Spirit Week brought so much joy to our hallways — from creative twins, wonderfully
decorated doors, funky hats, and cozy pajamas, all topped off with semi-formal attire today for
our Winter Dance.
We wish all of our students and families a restful, joyful holiday season filled with warmth and
time together. May the New Year bring health, happiness, and new opportunities. We look
forward to welcoming students back on Monday, January 5th.
¡Gracias por una semana llena de espíritu escolar! Les deseamos unas vacaciones llenas de
descanso y alegría y un próspero Año Nuevo.
Saludos,
Kristal Derbyshire, Principal
