Editor, Daily News:
You have given us more credit than we're due. After earning a C in Florida's school grading system for the past three years, we at Avalon Elementary School were thrilled to learn we earned a B for the 2005-06 school year.
It is not the A that you reported in your Friday editorial. But I make no apology for that. Everyone in our school community — students, staff, families, volunteers — has worked hard, and we are grateful to see that hard work reflected in the B that we earned.
One of your reporters asked me earlier this week if earning the B put the pressure on to now earn an A. My response was, no; we will take the time to enjoy and celebrate this accomplishment with our entire Avalon family. Then we will put our collective noses back to the grindstone, establish new goals and do what we do best — work hard every day toward the realization of those goals.
