A Farettell Letter Dear Students, Staff Members & Family Member , The last eight years have been a lt'onderful learning experience for me. Being the principal at Bryan has changed my life in important. meaningful way . I came to Bryan with a pa sion for young people and a vi ion for helping the school improve. Bryan student taught me about what it means to struggle and to overcome. Every day, their Lives demonstrate what it mean to be re ilient and hopeful.

That, through Izard work and.focusing on important goals, Li\·es can change and be transformed.

Students who graduate from lzig/z c/zool have made school a priority. They have changed their habits and Lifestyle to put education in the center of their lives. I have learned much by being in relationship with our studelll . I have learned how love and family can and does tran form lives. That con i tency and unconditional support are life-changing.

Relation hip that are based on tru t. love and common purpo e are powerful influence in people' live . Student who reflect on their own la ting and lo\·in relation. hips are free to deal more creati,·ely and critically with today· pre ing problem . They are free to make better deci ion and to become positive. colltributing and loving adult .

The e thought and other I will take with me when I retire in June. The opportunil) to . en·e at Bryan ha helped me grow a. a per. 011. I want to expre. m~• deep t appreciation to tud Ill . their Jamili \ and raff m •mb r who hm·e help •d me become ab tter per on. fou haw: erved a part of my extended family and have ently nud ed me to be a more open and 10\·ing individual.

Sincerely.
