Principal’s Message

Jackie Carducci GJHS Principal

A Reminder to Count Our Blessings


It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the THINGS associated with the holidays…the gifts, the events, the stress of endless EXPECTATIONS, but these hectic days mean something different for everyone.


For some of us, it can be a time of reminiscing as we think of our loved ones far away or who are no longer with us; for others, it can be a time of reflection, when life has hit harder than normal so holidays don’t look the way we had hoped.


That is why it is so important to take time to cherish the memories of those who are with us in spirit, and at the same time, celebrate those special people in our lives who are only a phone call away or sitting near us.


This is a reminder to you and to myself to think about our blessings as this year comes to an end.


One of my blessings is our Greenspun community. I have witnessed many of you come together to celebrate and support each other, our students, and our staff. I appreciate each and every one of you and am honored to be a part of this amazing community.


Regardless of what the holiday season means to you, I hope you and your family take the time to celebrate each other and to count your blessings.


Wishing you a happy and safe holiday! See you next year!!!
