Winter Break message from the Director

Speech and debate teams 2026

IMG_20160125_1032213561Greetings, Dragon Community!

As we near winter break, I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome I have received as the new director.  Maggie Walker is a very special place and I feel so blessed to be a part of it.  Building on our past successes, I am confident that we will continue to work together to take this learning community to new heights.  The more I learn about this community, the more I realize that what we have here is truly amazing.  The enthusiasm on our students and families is so refreshing that one can’t help but be caught up in it.  

Looking to the new year, please be reminded that The Night of the Dragon Auction is scheduled for March 10th. 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.

 

Robert Lowerre, Director

    Only at Maggie Walker could a four-day week have this much going on. Back to School Night is always one of my favorite events because it gives our teachers and families a chance to put names to faces. It was not that long ago that I was an MLWGS parent walking those same hallways, trying…
