Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year! I hope you all had an exciting summer full of fun experiences. This summer I got married to my husband, Kyle, who is an assistant principal at Campus Middle School. Our son PJ, who turned 13 in June, who will be 8th grade, kept us busy with lots of baseball games and tournaments. Our daughter Lucy, will be in 7th grade, also kept us busy with her rigorous lacrosse schedule.

My new last name will be Babb-Murray, but I will have students call me Mrs. Murray. Babb is my maiden name and my dad, who passed away 4 years ago, was a long-time principal, so I want to continue his legacy by carrying his last name. I will still answer to Ms. Jackson, especially to those of you who like to sing, "Sorry, Ms, Jackson" to me. :)

I am ecstatic to see all of our returning Panthers and can't wait to meet our new kindergartners, preschoolers and families new to Pine Ridge!

I'm looking forward to an amazing and fun year!

Please continue to read the rest of the newsletter as it contains information pertinent to the beginning of the school year.

See you soon,

Yvonne
