Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from Glen Allan Elementary School

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. The past 3+ years at Glen Allan Elementary have been a journey filled with joy, growth, and unforgettable memories, and I have you to thank for making this time so meaningful.

It has been an absolute privilege to serve as your principal. Each day, I have been inspired by your children—their curiosity, kindness, and unique perspectives make our school such a special place. Thank you for entrusting them to us and for sharing their light with me.

I am also deeply grateful for the incredible support I’ve received from you, our families. Your partnership, encouragement, and unwavering commitment to our school community have meant the world to me. Together, we have fostered a culture of inclusion, kindness, and excellence that I will always carry with me.

As the holidays draw near, I wish you all a season filled with love, laughter, and cherished time with loved ones. School will resume on Monday, January 6, and I wish everyone a wonderful and successful remainder of the school year.

Although I am moving on from Glen Allan Elementary, I hope to run into many of you around town—please don’t hesitate to stop and say hello! This community will always hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to cheering on the continued success of Glen Allan from afar.

Warmest wishes,
Jen Ference
