It is with immense joy and enthusiasm that I extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you, as we begin a brand-new academic year. I want to extend my warmest greetings to our returning students, dedicated faculty, supportive parents, and all those who make our school community so special. Your dedication and enthusiasm are the driving forces behind the vibrant and positive atmosphere that sets our school apart.

As we move forward into the new academic year, we remain committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for all. Our focus on academic excellence, character development, and student well-being will remain at the heart of our educational endeavors. In addition to academic pursuits, we are committed to promoting creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, preparing our students not just for exams but also for life beyond the classroom. Together, we will continue to empower our students to become compassionate, responsible, and extraordinary students.

As we navigate the coming months, let's remember to embrace the power of kindness and empathy. Each smile, and each encouraging word, can brighten someone's day and create a ripple effect of positivity.

Parents and guardians, your unwavering support is vital to the success of our students, and we cherish the partnership we have with you. Your involvement in your child's education is invaluable, and I urge you to remain actively engaged in their learning journey.

In closing, I'd like to express my gratitude for being part of the Burnham School family! I must also thank my family for their continuous support. My wife Valerie, has always provided love and an unwavering belief in me, fueling my determination to make a difference in the lives of our students here at Burnham School. Watching my children Roxanne, Gina, and Stephen, along with my four grandchildren, grow and enjoy life reminds me why I strive to create a brighter future for all.

Let's approach this year with open hearts and open minds, ready to learn, grow, and support one another every step of the way.

Here's to a successful, enriching, and unforgettable school year ahead! Welcome back, dear students and families!

I am blessed to have a wonderful family, including my husband, Jarek, to whom I have been married for 12 years. We have two daughters—Riley, who is 11 and in 6th grade, and Raelynn, who is 9 and in 4th grade. Their experiences drive my commitment to ensuring that every child at Burnham feels welcomed, safe, included, and successful.

At Burnham School, we are dedicated to ensuring that your children are prepared for success in an ever-changing world. This means providing them with the tools and skills they need to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, and responsible citizens.
