Principal’s Message

January 6, 2025

Dear Freshwater Families,

I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Happy New Year!
There is much to look forward to at Freshwater School this year and I am excited to welcome everyone back from the Winter Break. I was so impressed with the student performances held at our Winter Concert and the Freshwater community that showed up in full force. Thank you so much for your continued support of our school and its programs! I also want to extend special thanks to Ms. Gluck and Ms. Irene for all of the hard work that they put in to prepare our students for the concert; our Freshwater Dolphins raised the roof of our gym with their singing, dancing, and musical arrangements!

Freshwater School is an extremely special place to work, learn, and grow and I would like to express my gratitude to Rebecca Baugh, Ross Creech, Audrey Dieker, Mike Haley, and Korin Slaght for their service on the Freshwater School Board. Thank you for guiding our District into 2025; you are all appreciated!

I also continue to be amazed by the dedicated staff and parents that work tirelessly to provide
our students with so many high quality learning experiences at Freshwater School. In addition
to the academic, musical, and athletic programs offered at Freshwater, both the Community Club and the Freshwater Educational Foundation continue to strengthenour school climate by sponsoring community events for our Freshwater families to attend as
well as providing financial support to the District. These parent groups continue to do so much to enhance the Freshwater campus, and I am grateful for their commitment and support.

The Weekly Bulletin that is sent out each Monday announces when our school groups (School Board, FCMS Charter Council, Community Club, Freshwater Educational Foundation, and Parent Advisory Committee) meet. We are hoping to have more parents represented at all of our meetings this year, so please consider joining us! Stay tuned for another important email regarding school safety procedures that will be sent out later this week.

I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Freshwater Community in 2025!
Warm Regards,

Si Talty
Superintendent/Principal
