PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
As we approach Spring Break and the close of the third quarter, this is an important time in the school year to pause, reflect, and refocus with goals in mind. The final stretch of the academic year offers a valuable opportunity for students to build on their progress, address challenges, and finish strong.
We encourage our students to take pride in their accomplishments while also setting clear, achievable goals for the weeks ahead. Whether it’s improving organization, seeking extra help, or pushing toward personal bests, small, intentional steps can make a meaningful difference. Our teachers and staff remain committed to supporting each student every step of the way.
At the same time, Spring Break provides a well-deserved opportunity to rest, recharge, and spend time with family and friends. We hope this break brings renewal and energy as we prepare for a successful final quarter.
We wish all of our students, families, and staff a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Spring Break.

IT’S TIME TO ORDER YOUR YEARBOOK
Our Yearbook staff is working hard to organize the yearbook in such a way that it truly showcases the uniqueness of a preK-12 school. We are so fortunate to come together in a supportive, family-like atmosphere, and this is something our Journalism students, and their advisors, are working hard to emphasize in the 25-26 Clarion. Obviously, we will shine lights on our graduating seniors and our special honorees, but the entire school year will be showcased throughout the 98-page yearbook. We are dedicated to making this be a yearbook that ALL of our students can enjoy by utilizing the “modern-day technology” with some of the “old-fashioned” flair. Do you remember the days in which you looked forward to getting your yearbooks and signing them with your friends? “Stay sweet” “Have a great summer!” etc.! Well, now is the time to order those yearbooks and encourage your kids to get signatures and teach them how to write something kind to their peers. Our 2025-26 Clarions are on sale for $45 each. You can send in a check with your child with attention to the Clarion staff with your child’s name on it OR you can order online at https://ybpay.lifetouch.com/Order/ and on the site put in our Yearbook ID: 6751526
In addition, we have MANY yearbooks from previous years that we are looking to get rid of from our inventory. If you would like to purchase any from any previous year, send an email to Mrs. Field and/or Mrs. Korona at jfield@sharonsprings.org and/or rkorona@sharonsprings.org and we will look through the inventory to see if there is one available from the year of your inquiry. The cost of these past yearbooks is a donation of your choosing. These donations will help keep the costs down for future years, and allow us to update our photography equipment when needed.
