☀️ A Summer Message from Principal Trujillo ☀️

Hello Monarch Families 💛🦋
As another incredible school year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for your partnership, support, and trust throughout the year. Together, we have celebrated achievements, overcome challenges, explored new opportunities, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

This year, our students performed on stages, showcased their artwork, explored careers and colleges, participated in field trips, built friendships across grade levels through House Meetings, and continued to grow as learners, artists, leaders, and community members. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our staff and the unwavering support of our families.

A special thank you to our volunteers, who contributed more than 800 hours of service to our school this year. Your time, talents, and generosity have enriched the experiences of our students and strengthened our Monarch community.

As summer begins, I encourage our students to continue learning, creating, reading, and exploring. Visit a library, spend time outdoors, create art, write stories, discover new interests, and most importantly, enjoy time with family and friends. Summer is a wonderful opportunity to recharge and prepare for the exciting adventures ahead.

To our students moving on to new opportunities, especially our 8th-graders who are continuing their journey beyond our walls, we are so proud of you and cannot wait to see all you accomplish.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall for another amazing year of learning, creativity, and community.

Have a safe, joyful, and relaxing summer!

With gratitude and Monarch Pride,
Principal Claudette Trujillo 🦋💛

🦋 It takes a village to help our Monarchs soar! 🦋

We’d like to give a special thank you to some amazing family members who support Metropolitan Arts Academy:

💙 Ms. Fuller’s grandmother, who served as a preschool paraprofessional, office assistant sub and supports our youngest learners every day.

💙 Mr. Romero’s mother, for volunteering her time to help our school community.

💙 Ms. DeLorenzo’s mother, a dedicated weekly volunteer who is always willing to lend a hand.

💙 Mr. Lynch’s mother, a retired Westminster Public Schools teacher, who helps set up and take down his classroom each year.

We are grateful for the time, care, and commitment these incredible women bring to our school. Thank you for being part of our Monarch family! ❤️
