Chester W. Morrison Family, 

I am so grateful for this opportunity to join the Chester W. Morrison Elementary community as your new principal. As I step into this role, I am inspired by the powerful sense of partnership and commitment that defines our school. I want to thank Principal Mitchem for his leadership and for establishing such a positive environment where every child is supported.

This year, our focus will remain on building a learning environment where every student feels a sense of belonging. We will continue to champion early literacy and our tiered intervention programs, ensuring our youngest learners have the tools they need for lifelong success.

As the new principal, I believe our greatest strength is our shared vision. My goal is to work alongside you in continuing to build a school that serves as a beacon of diversity, equity, and excellence. I am committed to listening and learning from each of you as we write the next chapter of our school's story.

Thank you for trusting me with the incredible responsibility of leading this school. I can't wait to see what we will accomplish together.

Warm regards,

Christina Gallardo-Barrett
Principal, Chester W. Morrison Elementary
