Hello Berry Bear Families,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Berry Elementary! Whether you’re new to our school or returning for another exciting year, I want to take a moment to say how grateful we are to have you as part of our Berry community.
Last year, our theme was GRIT—and our students, staff, and families showed it every step of the way. We faced challenges with determination, built stronger relationships, and grew together as a community. From our third annual Zombie Run and our first ever Movie Night, to launching our STEM Night and opening the doors to our new Spark Space, we created powerful memories and learning opportunities that brought our community closer than ever.
This year, our new theme is BELIEVE—because at Berry, we choose to BELIEVE:
💛 Believe we can make a difference—together.
💛 Believe our students can and will learn and grow.
💛 Believe we can set goals and stick to them—no matter the obstacles.
💛 Believe that by working as a team, we can give our children everything they need to thrive.
Some may call me a hopeless optimist—and I’ll proudly wear that title. Our theme is inspired by the show Ted Lasso, which reminds us that optimism, teamwork, and heart can change the world. I believe that here at Berry, we have that same magic—and when we come together as families, students, and staff, there’s nothing we can’t do.
So here’s to a new year filled with learning, laughter, and growth. We’re ready to support each other, cheer each other on, and BELIEVE in what we can accomplish—together.
We’ve got this, Berry. Let’s BELIEVE! 🐻💛
Warmly,
Joseph Prosapio
Principal, Berry Elementary School
