All the best to you and your family and have the BEST summer!

Love the Surleti Family

Thank you for your leadership in making northside such a warm and welcoming place. We have definitely felt it. When we first transitioned into the school district we were nervous but it has been such an amazing experience to be a part of the northside community. I still remember our conversation about you being a coop alum like my kids, and thinking how lucky we were to feel the same warmth of the coop here at northside! Have a wonderful and well deserved retirement!

Today's incredible fourth grade graduation ceremony was a testament to the kind of school you created over the past years, and Antonio and Siena are so blessed to have been a part of it under your leadership! Your sense of humor and nurturing, unwavering care made all the children feel at home from the very first day. Your letters home always put a smile on my face and put us at ease, especially during unprecedented times like Covid! In the eye of the storm, you were the calm that guided us with clarity and direction. We wish you every happiness during your well-deserved relaxation time ahead! Thank you for the very hard work you put in each day of the year for the benefit of our children who will never forget you!

Love, The Gallo Family
