Principals Message

As we come to the close of the

2012-13 School Year, we have so

many events to look back upon andreflect on what a wonderful year it has

been. From the Fall Festival to the

Family Dinner and Art show, we

could not have done it without our

awesome volunteers, staff, andstudents! This is what makes Wekiva

a Koality school!

I know many people (staff, PTA, and

parents) are already planning for next

school year and I look forward toworking with everyone to keep thequality of our academic and arts

programs.

Fifth grade is off to middle school

and our staff knows they are ready to

change the world!Part of being a Wekiva KOALA is

students achieving goals! This

newsletter is dedicated to

achievement.

Have a wonderful, safe summer!

Until August,

Corner Carls Safety tip

Did You KnowChildren are in perpetual

motion and lack the skill to judge the

distance of a moving vehicle. This

summer, remind your child to stay outof the streets and to play in the yard.

Take them to a nearby park for a fun

and inexpensive treat. Have them play

in groups to keep them safe. And, ifthey are playing with an object that

accidently goes into the street, make

sure to remind them to look, left, right,

left before going after it. Have a Safe

Summer!
