Dear Members of Our Garden Gate Community,It truly is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement toward the end of January this school year. I feel sofortunate to have been your principal for almost nine years. Having the opportunity to do what I love best - working
with children and the school community - at an incredible school makes me a very lucky person indeed! My years atGarden Gate have been among the best of my working life and my many positive experiences here, bothprofessional and personal, will always be fondly remembered. Now it is time for me to move into another phase ofmy life and I hope to spend more time with my family.
I want to assure you that Superintendent Quon and his staff will carefully consider the qualifications necessary for thenext principal of Garden Gate. I am confident they will select the person best suited for the position.
This is such a wonderful school, as I am sure all of you know. You and your children are a big part of what makesGarden Gate special. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know and work with you!
Sincerely,Nancy Wood
