[0:01] [Music] [0:06] Hello, STMA. My name is Ann Marie Fugo [0:09] and I'm superintendent of STMA schools. [0:12] I am thrilled to bring you the latest [0:14] version of the voices of STMA, our [0:17] learners, our journey, our story. [0:20] Throughout this series, we've had the [0:22] joy of connecting directly with the most [0:24] important voices in our schools, our [0:26] children. From preschool through high [0:29] school, their stories have offered a [0:31] meaningful glimpse into what they are [0:33] seeing, feeling, and experiencing each [0:36] and every day in our schools. This [0:39] month, we were able to connect with our [0:41] learners from St. Michael Elementary, [0:43] Middle School East, and Middle School [0:45] West. Their reflections are filled with [0:48] insight and authenticity. And as I [0:50] listened, I felt a tremendous sense of [0:53] pride for the culture of care, [0:55] connection, and belonging that we built [0:57] together. I am deeply grateful to our [1:00] extraordinary staff for creating the [1:03] safe and supportive learning [1:05] environments, and to you, our families, [1:07] and community for your continued [1:10] support, trust, and partnership. Thank [1:13] you for watching this video series [1:15] throughout the year and for being an [1:17] important part of the STMA story. We [1:20] look forward to continuing our journey [1:22] together and we hope you have a [1:24] rejuvenating and safe summer filled with [1:26] many memorable moments. Go [1:30] Nights.
