Life at the Locke

December 19, 2021 HOLIDAY   EDITION !! Dear Parents/Guardians, Staff, and Students, I wish you all a happy, healthy holiday season and a happy new year. We have had another great year at the Locke. And what a year it was! Our staff and families came together over the last year as we navigate our way through the pandemic. I am so appreciative of our staff for persevering during this challenging time. Also, to families, thank you for your patience and flexibility as we had to adopt new schedules and routines. It was not easy, but we succeeded in providing all students with a positive learning environment. As we reflect on 2021, remember the way that our community helped each other get through these times together. We look forward to 2022 with a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and determination. The Locke certainly has great days of learning planned for the coming months. Until then, enjoy your vacation and I hope you get some time to rest and recharge. The newsletter will be taking a wee
