November’s Guiding Principle is “Responsibility”.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Genet families! We have much to be thankful for at Genet Elementary
School. Wonderful children, supportive and involved parents, a talented teacher and support staff,
and a beautiful building all make for the best school ever! Thank you for all of the cooperative efforts
you make to support our children and their teachers. Your presence at our recent Parent-Teacher
Conferences, and at those scheduled for December, demonstrate your commitment to working with
our teachers as a team. We are grateful, too, for our fabulous PTO. Their efforts to support our
curriculum and mission are much appreciated.

On Thanksgiving Day I will be thinking of all of you and wishing you a day of peace, filled with the love
of family.
