F. Farias Faculty, Staff and Community,
While I am excited about the opportunities that await me in the future, it is with sadness that I say good-bye. As I leave the leadership of Farias Elementary this summer, what I most want to do is to thank you heartily for your support and interest, for your trust in me and for your continued effort and creativity in exploring and implementing the mission and vision of Farias Elementary. It has been a pleasure working with all of you as we navigated both the good times and the more challenging times. I especially appreciate the remarkable memories (such as the rehearsing and preparing the annual Christmas Programs), the experiences, challenges, triumphs, joys and special relationships to last me a lifetime. It has been a short but exciting journey and I am grateful for every single student, parent, teacher and employee who made my experiences enriching and memorable.
Although I am excited at the prospect of moving on to a new job with new responsibilities, I doubt very much that I will ever find another team as caring and cohesive as this one. I have had the chance to work with many exceptional individuals like you. I appreciate the efforts and hard work you have done to make Farias a great place for students. These past six years have been extremely rewarding for me, as I have seen students, teachers, and staff flourish and celebrate personal, athletic, and academic success. The most important success has been to see Farias Elementary grow from Required Improvement in 2013 to become a “B” Campus in 2019 in the State Accountability System. This great accomplishment deserves a celebration!!!
I extend my best wishes to all of you and to Farias Elementary School and community. It has been an honor and my privilege to work with you. I feel blessed to have been part of such an amazing team!
Thanks Again,
San Juana Garza
