Principal's Message

A Place to Explore, Celebrate, and Innovate
 
Reflecting on the vibrant tapestry of experiences at New Lexington School, our community has thrived through immersive cultural celebrations and innovative educational initiatives. Serving as the cornerstone of our district's Mandarin Dual Language Program, we've embraced diversity through engaging events like the Lunar New Year Festival and the enchanting Harvest Moon Festival.
 
These celebrations have not only educated but also united our community, fostering a deep appreciation for the cultural richness within our midst. Our commitment to inclusivity was further evidenced through the vibrant commemoration of Dia de los Muertos, enriching our collective understanding of diverse traditions. We are proud of our cultural diversity at New Lexington and are always seeking ways to let our community learn from each other as much as from our teachers.
 
Complementing our cultural endeavors, our Hello World Computer Science Program has propelled students into the forefront of technological exploration. Through coding and virtual design projects, students have honed their digital skills, preparing them for success in an increasingly technology-driven world.
 
As we look back on these events and initiatives, we are more than just a place of learning—we are a dynamic hub where students, families, and staff come together to explore, celebrate, and innovate. These experiences have not only enriched our educational landscape but also empowered our community to embrace our diversity and welcome the opportunities that lie ahead.
