Welcome Back  Students and Parents of GIVE West

Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome back, and Happy New Year! I hope that you had a restful and enjoyable holiday break.
As we begin the second semester of the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on how
much we've accomplished so far and to look ahead to the exciting opportunities the new year
brings.
This semester, we are embracing the theme "No One is a Finished Product." This idea
speaks to the ongoing journey of growth and learning that each of us is on. Just as students are
always evolving and discovering new things about themselves, so are we as a school
community-whether as learners, educators, or parents. No one is perfect, and no one is ever
fully "finished." Every day is an opportunity to learn, improve, and become better than we were
before.
For our students, this means recognizing that mistakes are a natural part of learning and that
every challenge you face is an opportunity to grow. No matter where you are in your educational
journey, remember that you have the power to shape your path. The road to success isn't
linear-it's filled with ups and downs, but each experience helps you learn and develop.
For our parents, this theme serves as a reminder that your support plays a crucial role in your
child's growth. As we encourage our students to keep striving, it's important to also
acknowledge and celebrate their progress, not just their achievements. You are partners in this
journey, and your involvement and encouragement help our students believe in their ability to
evolve and succeed.
At GIVE West, we are committed to creating an environment where all members of our
community-students, families, and staff-can continue to grow and thrive. We encourage
curiosity, embrace challenges, and celebrate the progress made along the way.
As we begin this semester together, let's keep in mind that growth is a process, and we are all
works in progress. Together, we can continue to support each other in reaching new heights,
both academically and personally.
I am excited to see what we will accomplish in the coming months, and I look forward to
continuing this journey of growth with all of you.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and successful second semester!
Warm regards,

Kelly Walter
Proud Principal of GIVE Center West.
