Message from BLES Administration

  • January 2026 Principal Letter to Families

    Dear Brooklyn Landmark Families,

    Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! I hope this message finds you and your loved ones healthy, joyful, and filled with optimism for the year ahead. On behalf of our entire Brooklyn Landmark Elementary School community, I extend my warmest wishes for a prosperous and fulfilling new year.

    As we step into the second half of the school year, we are excited about all that is to come. Our scholars have already made tremendous progress, and we look forward to continuing this momentum through engaging learning experiences and strong family partnerships.

    This month, we honor several important holidays and observances:

    • New Year’s Day (January 1): A celebration of new beginnings and the start of a fresh year filled with hope and opportunity.

    • Three Kings’ Day / Día de los Reyes (January 6): Celebrated in many cultures as the day the Three Wise Men visited the baby Jesus, symbolizing generosity and giving.

    • Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 19, 2026): A national holiday honoring Dr. King’s legacy of justice, equality, and service. It reminds us of the power of community and standing up for what is right.

    As we move into January, we are also planning important academic support for our scholars. Intervention After-School Services for selected students in Grades K–2 will provide targeted instruction to strengthen foundational skills. In addition, our TEST Prep After-School Program for Grades 3–5 will begin soon to help scholars feel confident and well-prepared for upcoming state assessments.

    Thank you for your ongoing partnership, encouragement, and commitment to your child’s success. Together, we are building a joyful and thriving school community.

    Wishing you and your family a healthy, happy, and prosperous year ahead!

    Warm regards,
    Gina Dawson
     Principal, I.A.
