Welcome to the 2024 School Year!

As the 2024 school year begins, I am filled with excitement and pride to welcome back our students, educators, and families. The start of a new school year is always a special time, full of possibilities and fresh opportunities for learning, growth, and community engagement.

 

Education is the foundation of our community's success. Here in Grimes, we are fortunate to have a strong educational system to prepare our future leaders, innovators, and citizens. The partnership between our schools, families, and the broader community is key to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed.

 

As the Board Chair of Grimes Chamber and Economic Development, I see firsthand how closely our schools and local businesses are intertwined. The skills and values cultivated in our classrooms are the very ones that will drive our local economy forward. Whether it's through reading books to a kindergarten classroom, supporting school programs, or participating in community events, our business community is committed to investing in the future of Grimes.

 

This year, as we welcome new students and teachers to our schools, I encourage everyone to think about how we can continue to strengthen the bonds between our educational institutions and the broader Grimes community. Together, we can create a supportive environment where every student can thrive, both in the classroom and beyond.

 

To our students, I wish you a year full of discovery, hard work, and fun. To our teachers and school staff, thank you for your dedication and commitment to guiding our young people. And to our parents and guardians, your role is invaluable in supporting your children's education and helping them navigate the challenges and joys of school life.

 

Let’s make this school year one of the best yet, filled with learning, growth, and community spirit. Here’s to a fantastic 2024 school year!
