    🌟 Welcome Back, Brooklyn Landmark Families! 🌟
    School Year 2025–2026

    Dear Brooklyn Landmark Community,

    It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to a new school year as your Interim Acting Principal. As a founding teacher and former Assistant Principal, I am honored to continue serving this incredible community and to lead our school into a year filled with growth, learning, and transformation.

    This year, our theme is:
    ✨ Embracing Change to Empower Every Learner ✨
    Together, we will navigate new opportunities, adapt to evolving needs, and ensure that every child feels seen, supported, and inspired.

    As we embrace change, let us reflect on the words of Maya Angelou:
    β€œIf you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”
    Change invites us to grow, stretch, and discover the brilliance within ourselves and each other.

    At Brooklyn Landmark Elementary School, we are also guided by our Core Values:

    • Brilliance – We celebrate the unique talents and potential in every learner.
    • Legacy – We honor our history while building a future of excellence.
    • Empathy – We foster a culture of kindness, understanding, and care.
    • Solidarity – We stand together as a united community, lifting each other up.

    Let’s make this year unforgettable. I look forward to partnering with each of you to create a joyful, inclusive, and empowering learning environment.

    With gratitude and excitement,
    Gina Dawson
    Interim Acting Principal
    Brooklyn Landmark Elementary School
