Dear Brooklyn X school community,
Welcome back to another exciting academic year filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and success! I hope this letter finds you all in good health and high spirits, ready to embark on a journey towards excellence through equity.
I am truly honored and privileged to lead such a remarkable school community. My leadership vision for this new academic school year is to foster shared accountability, clear expectations, accountability, and transparency to all members of the school community to bring out excellence through an equity lens. Together, we will strive to create an environment where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.
I am thrilled to share with you some of the exciting programs and initiatives that await us this year. One program that truly embodies the moral compass of kindness is our “Kindness Matters” initiative. Through various activities and events, we will emphasize the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding, building a culture of respect and inclusivity.
Additionally, we will continue our Collaborative Field Guide (CFG) work for teachers, providing a space for professional development, collaboration, and reflection. This will further enhance our teaching practices and ensure that we are delivering the best possible education to our students.
We are also proud participants in the My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) and My Sister’s Keeper (MSK) programs. These initiatives focus on empowering young men and women to support their academic and personal growth, promote success and breaking down barriers.
Furthermore, our Culinary Arts Program, STEAM Program, and hydroponics farms showcase our commitment to providing diverse educational experiences. These programs not only ignite creativity and critical thinking but also equip our students with practical skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.
To cater to the varied interests of our students, we will be offering a range of clubs that align with their passions and interests. From debate club to photography, chess to drama, our extracurricular offerings provide avenues for personal growth, teamwork, and exploration.
In addition, our school community garden continues to flourish, serving as a beautiful symbol of our unity and commitment to sustainability. It offers a hands-on learning experience, connecting our students with nature and fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment.
As we kick-start this new academic year, I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for your dedication, hard work, and unwavering support. Together, we will create an inclusive, supportive, and academically rigorous environment that enables all students to thrive.
I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and look forward to working collaboratively with all of you. Open communication and collaboration will be key as we navigate the challenges and celebrate the achievements throughout the year.
Once again, welcome back to Brooklyn Community High School for Excellence and Equity. Let us embark on this journey together, fueled by the shared values of excellence and equity, as we write another chapter in our collective success story.
Sincerely,
Jennyvi Fajardo
Principal
Brooklyn Community High School for Excellence and Equity
