A Letter from Mrs. Srour

June 7, 2019

 

Dear Geer Park Families,

 

I am blessed to have been at Geer Park since the doors opened in 2005 and have had the honor serving as its principal for the past six years. Throughout this time, we collectively excelled as we have earned state recognition for being a top performing school more than once, developed a staff that is committed and knowledgeable in best practices, and most importantly, nurtured our Geer Park stars to become high achieving, confident and well-rounded community citizens.  I am proud of the role I played in making our school a model in so many ways.

 

As the district continues to grow and move forward, needs and goals evolve along the way. A part of this change includes shifts in leadership.  It is time for me to move on within the district and serve students beyond our Geer Park community. While this was not an easy decision, our district leaders and myself are confident that Geer Park – its parents, students and staff – will continue to thrive.

 

On a personal note, I am leaving feeling blessed and humbled to have built relationships with you and to have made many, many memories. You are and will always be family to me.

 

To our PTA, your support, hard work and commitment to me and our Geer Park families and staff has made our school a special place to be. Our community is lucky to have you!

 

I will forever be thankful for this time we’ve had together.

 

Sincerely,

Lamis Srour

عزيزي جير بارك العائلات ،

لقد أنعم الله على وجوده في جير بارك منذ أن فتحت الأبواب في عام 2005 وكان لي الشرف كمديرة لها على مدار السنوات الست الماضية. طوال هذا الوقت ، برعنا بشكل جماعي حيث حصلنا على تقدير الدولة لكونها مدرسة عالية الأداء أكثر من مرة ، وقمنا بتطوير فريق ملتزم ودراية بأفضل الممارسات ، والأهم من ذلك ، رعى نجومنا في جير بارك ليحققوا إنجازًا عاليًا وواثقًا والمواطنين المجتمع جيدا. أنا فخوره بالدور الذي لعبته في جعل مدرستنا نموذجًا بعدة طرق.

مع استمرار الحي في النمو والمضي قدمًا ، تتطور الاحتياجات والأهداف على طول الطريق. جزء من هذا التغيير يشمل التحولات في القيادة. لقد حان الوقت بالنسبة لي للمضي قدمًا في المنطقة وخدمة الطلاب خارج مجتمع جير بارك. على الرغم من أن هذا لم يكن قرارًا سهلاً ، فإن قادة منطقتنا وأنا واثقون من أن جير بارك – أولياء الأمور والطلاب والموظفون – سوف يستمرون في الازدهار.

على صعيد شخصي ، أترك الشعور المبارك والتواضع لبناء علاقات معك والكثير من الذكريات. أنت وستظل دائمًا عائلة لي.

إلى مجموعة أولياء الأمور والمعلمين الخاصة بنا ، فقد جعل دعمك وعملك الدؤوب والتزامك تجاهي وعائلاتنا وموظفو جير بارك من مدرستنا مكانًا خاصًا. مجتمعنا محظوظ أن يكون لك!

سأكون ممتنًا إلى الأبد على هذه الفترة التي قضيناها معًا.

بإخلاص،

لميس سرور
