💡In this Staff Spotlight, say hello 👋 to Mrs. Murawski, our amazing principal who has been leading the way at Folsom Prep for the last 7 years!

Before becoming principal, Mrs. Murawski taught several grades including Kindergarten, first, second, and fifth. She loved teaching each grade level and her favorite subjects were math and science!🔬🧮

But one of the things she loves seeing the most is when reading clicks for students and their love of reading books begins 📚 It opens up a whole new world of wonder!

🗓Mark your calendars for Back to School Night this week! This is a wonderful opportunity to hear from your child's teacher about what they'll be learning in school this year, expectations, and get any questions answered. Childcare will be available (please sign up at the front desk).
