Winter Break Greetings

Speech and debate teams 2026

IMG_0261Greetings, MLWGS Community!

As we near winter break, I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome I have received as the new interim director.  I know transitions can be difficult, but I am confident that together we will have a very productive and rewarding school term.  Maggie Walker is a great school, and as we move toward the holidays, I hope we will all reflect on our many blessings, especially the opportunity to be part of such a vibrant school community.  I look forward to the weeks and months ahead with great anticipation and excitement.

Looking to the new year, please be reminded that The Night of the Dragon Auction is scheduled for February 25. The PTSA is still looking for auction items.  Please contact Peggy Feldmann at [email protected] or (804) 517-8957 if you have items to offer.    

I hope you and your family enjoy a restful winter break and a very happy New Year. 

Jonathan Lewis, Interim Director
