Dear Families,

As we approach the holiday season, it is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the values that bring us together as a school community: kindness, gratitude, and respect for one another. This time of year is celebrated in many different ways across the world and within our own school, representing a beautiful tapestry of traditions, beliefs, and cultures.

At our middle school, we are proud to be a place where diversity is not only acknowledged but celebrated. Whether you are gathering with loved ones, observing a cherished tradition, or simply enjoying the change in seasons, we wish you a time filled with joy, peace, and togetherness.

We also recognize that the holiday season can bring unique challenges for some. Please know that our school is committed to supporting every student, ensuring they feel valued and cared for. If your child or family needs assistance or someone to talk to during this time, don’t hesitate to reach out—we are here for you.

As always, let’s remember the power of kindness, not just during the holidays, but throughout the year. Small acts of compassion can make a world of difference. Together, let’s continue to create a school environment where everyone feels welcome and included.

On behalf of all of us at Dr. Martha Cohen, I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season. Thank you for being an essential part of our community, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year!

Warm regards,

Jason Hartl
