Dear Niu Valley Middle School,
I am filled with gratitude as I reflect on my six years serving as your principal. It has been an honor and a privilege to lead this incredible school, and I am thankful for the support, dedication, and hard work of our staff, students, our parents, and the community.
I have accepted a position at the State’s Professional Development and Educational Research Institute (PDERI) to mentor other administrators. As I prepare for this change in my career, I want to express my deepest appreciation to each one of you. The joyful memories of Fam Jam, movie night, and Arts Faire will stay with me forever.
Though it is time for me to transition to a different role within the Department of Education, I will always cherish the memories and experiences we have shared. I look forward to continuing to make a difference in education, albeit in a new capacity.
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful school I wish you all continued success and growth.
With heartfelt gratitude, Laura Ahn
