Dear Cold Spring Families,
There is so much happening at Cold Spring! Please take a few minutes to review the information below for this week’s updates and upcoming activities.
One favorite tradition you won’t find listed below is my morning recess scavenger hunt, happening all next week! Each day, I’ll leave clues around campus that lead to a hidden treasure. Whoever finds the treasure gets to keep it, and each treasure offers a hint about my Halloween costume for our Friday, October 30 dress-up day! Our younger students will head out to morning recess about five minutes early to give them a little extra time to search. I always look forward to the excitement, teamwork, and creative guesses this tradition inspires!
We also have so much to celebrate following the release of our state rankings. I am incredibly proud of our hardworking students and the extraordinary teachers and staff who support them every day. Tomorrow, I’ll be teaching a lesson in sixth grade to support our students’ project-based learning, and I can’t wait to spend that time learning and creating alongside them.
That spirit of collaboration is part of what makes Cold Spring so special. Our entire team works together to give every child an exceptional education filled with challenge, creativity, connection, and joy. Seeing our students thrive is the greatest reward.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for being part of this wonderful community!
With gratitude,
Dr. Alzina
Middle School Information Night Tomorrow at MUS!
Please join us for Middle School Information Night on October 22, from 5:00–6:00 p.m. at Montecito Union School! Montecito Union Principal Dr. Nick Bruski and I have collaborated to organize this event so families from both school communities can receive a comprehensive overview of their options after elementary school. We alternate hosting each year, and this year it is Montecito Union’s turn to welcome our families.
You’ll have the opportunity to hear from nine private schools and Santa Barbara Junior High, our feeder school. This is a wonderful opportunity to ask questions and explore the possibilities for your child’s next chapter. Families from every grade level are welcome! I will be there as well and look forward to seeing you.
