Dear Curtner Families,

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire Curtner community for allowing me to serve as your principal these past four years.  It is with great sadness that I announce that I will not be returning to Curtner next school year.  It has been an incredibly rewarding experience working at Curtner.  I have so many fond memories of my four years here at Curtner.  I feel lucky to have been part of this community and I have learned so much from our Curtner families about the diverse cultures they have graciously shared with our school.  I leave our school very proud of our students’ accomplishments in academics, arts, culture, and public service. 

I hope to stay in touch with the many great people that are part of our Curtner community.  I will be moving only a few blocks away to become the Principal of neighboring Spangler Elementary School.  I look forward to the opportunity to support the achievement of Spangler’s community of learners. 

There will be a meeting next Wednesday, April 25th at 8 am in our Librarywith the Superintendant for your input on what qualities you would like in our new Principal.

Sincerely,

Mr. Gaviglio

Curtner is a great school because of the hard work of our parent volunteers.  They spearhead innovative programming, they raise funds to support our school, they volunteer helping teachers, and they share their many talents with the school.  At this week’s MUSD School Board meeting, the Curtner Volunteers of the year were recognized.  This year it was a tie between Lutex Patague and Kim Winter,
