Summer Newsletter - Information for Back to School

Good afternoon Stenersen Families,

As I prepare to hit send on my final parent bulletin, I am overcome with emotions. I have had an incredible, fulfilling career and I am grateful that I was able to spend my last 6 years at Stenersen. This school community is special and I have loved being part of it.

I appreciated the many well wishes from students and parents the past few weeks. I will miss you all. 
Lori Whitman, Principal

Thank you for the trust and support you have shown me over this past year. I wish you all continued success and happiness in the future.
