💛 A Message from Brittany Conlon, MEd, Principal 💛
Dear HongDe Families,
It is with a grateful heart that I reflect on the incredible journey we have all shared at HongDe Elementary. As we approach the closing of our beloved school, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you—our students, families, teachers, and staff—who have made this community so special.
HongDe has always been more than just a school; it has been a family, a place of growth, learning, and connection. Together, we have built an environment filled with kindness, curiosity, and lifelong friendships. I am so proud of what we have accomplished—the knowledge shared, the character built, and the memories created.
To our students—you are the heart of HongDe. Watching you learn, grow, and thrive has been the greatest joy. Never stop being curious, compassionate, and courageous in all that you do.
To our parents and families—your trust, support, and dedication to this school have meant the world. Thank you for being our partners in education and for believing in our vision.
To our teachers and staff—your passion, commitment, and unwavering support have shaped the lives of so many students. Thank you for your tireless efforts, patience, and kindness. Your impact will be felt for years to come.
While this chapter is coming to a close, the HongDe spirit will live on in all of us. The lessons, friendships, and experiences we’ve shared will always remain.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this incredible journey. 💛
With gratitude,
Brittany Conlon, MEd
Principal, HongDe Elementary
