As we close another successful school year, I want to thank you for your continued partnership, trust, and support. It has been an incredible honor to serve as the Principal of Elm Street Elementary for the past ten years. The relationships I have built with our students, families, staff, and community have made my time at Elm Street truly special, and I will always be grateful for the many memories we have created together.
To our fourth-grade students, congratulations on reaching this important milestone! I am extremely proud of all you have accomplished during your years at Elm Street. I wish you the very best as you move on to Waverly Middle School next year. Continue to work hard, be kind, believe in yourselves, and proudly represent Elm Street wherever you go. I know you will continue to make us proud. Most importantly, continue to be Safe, Kind, and Responsible.
Beginning July 1, I will be transitioning into my new role as Principal of Waverly High School. Although leaving Elm Street is bittersweet, I am excited to continue serving the students and families of the Waverly Central School District in this new capacity.
I am also very excited to welcome Mrs. Jackie Picco back to Elm Street as your new principal. Mrs. Picco taught at Elm Street for many years and already has a strong connection to our school and community. Her return is truly a homecoming, and I know she will do a fabulous job serving and supporting our students, families, staff, and community. Elm Street will be in excellent hands under her leadership.
Even though there are changes ahead, the familiar faces, strong relationships, and commitment to supporting our children remain the same. We are all still part of the same team and will continue working together to provide the best possible opportunities for every Waverly student.
Thank you again for allowing me the privilege of serving as your principal for the past ten years. On behalf of the entire Elm Street staff, I wish you and your family a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer.
Go Wolverines!
Sincerely,
John Cheresnowsky
Principal
Elm Street Elementary School
Have a safe summer!

Dear families,
Get ready—the Scholastic BOGO Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to build your child’s
home library with new books they’ll dive into again and again.
The easiest way to let your child shop the Fair independently is by creating an eWallet. It’s easy to set up and
easy for others to add funds.
Create an eWallet, and you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to Share the Fair - the giving program
that supports students at our school who need help buying books. Consider participating so that no child
leaves the Fair empty-handed!
Here’s everything else you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: June 2nd-5th 9am-2pm
Location: Elm Street Library
Family Event schedule and location:
Monday June 1st in Elm Street Gym during the carnival
https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/elmstreetelementaryschool7
Share the Fair is the giving program built into the Scholastic Book Fair, empowered by contributions from people like you! These funds support students at our school who need help getting new books. Your contribution helps even more kids take home a book from the Fair—and experience the all-the-feels, read-past-lights-out rush that we call “Bookjoy.”
