Happy March, Naples Families!
They say March comes in like a lion. I feel like
it has come in more like the abominable snowman
from Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. The weather
is getting to us at Naples. Cabin fever is
taking over staff and students alike.
Regardless, we are working to maintain our focus
on academic success, positive citizenship, and
safety. Remember, Naples has a clear motto of
SAFE, CIVIL and PRODUCTIVE! Ask your kiddos. I
know they could recite it back to you!
We had a couple fun assemblies in the past
month. We enjoyed Across the Divide, a
Broadway-like musical from the Coeur d’Alene
Summer Theatre. This was an entertaining and
educational story about the Lewis and Clark
expedition which also addressed current issues
of bullying and social media use. The kids loved
every minute! Our second assembly was
motivational speaker John Williams. His message
was of kindness to all and perseverance. We feel
fortunate to be able to provide these
opportunities to our students.
Mrs. Krejci was honored as the Boundary County
School District Classified Employee of the
Month! We are proud to have her on our team. She
is a strong asset for staff and students as one
of our Title I professionals. Needless to say,
she is well-loved by all! Congratulations, Mrs.
Krejci!
If you’ve been in the office recently, you have
likely met Amanda Gardner. She is our Naples
PTSA president and more recently became our
front desk life saver. She is filling in as a
long-term sub for Mrs. Lucas. Mrs. Lucas is
still here on campus, but she is working to
support me in my other district-level role. If I
didn’t mention it before, I wear two hats. One
as Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
Director for the district, and one as Naples
Principal. As we enter state testing season and
prepare for next year’s curriculum and
professional development, I must rely heavily on
Mrs. Lucas. We’re not sure what we’d do without
these two amazing professionals supporting our
students and staff!
It is with mixed emotions I announce the
departure of a remarkable Naples team member.
Our special education teacher, Cynthia
Stovall-Sanders has accepted a position with
Boulder Creek Academy. I am excited for her as
she pursues her professional goals. However, I
also know we are going to miss her. She has
brought an extraordinary level of knowledge and
love to her special education students for
nearly 13 years in Boundary County schools. Good
luck, Cynthia! Come see us at Naples any time!
Finally, as we approach the end of second
trimester (March 8th), it feels like a good time
to revisit a few key items, as well as begin
preparations for next school year. Here are a
few things to consider:
• Questions or Concerns? The TEAM of staff at
Naples is here for your student! Call us or come
visit!

Committee! Notify the front office.
• Teach a H.A.T.S. Session! Pick up a form in
the office. Next event is March 28th, 1-3:00
p.m.
Thank you for sharing your greatest, most
valuable blessings with us each day! Their
presence makes our lives brighter. Let’s start
dancing for warm weather!
GO WOLVERINES! |
