As the Principal at Christie Elementary, my goal is to assist in cultivating an environment where respect, encouragement, appreciation, communication, and honor are not just words, but actively practiced values. By embodying these principles, we aim to create a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where both staff and students can thrive. Our focus on these values is integral to the development of foundational skills that extend beyond the classroom, preparing students for success in their future endeavors beyond our campus.
