Dear Gravely Families,

I am excited to begin my second year as Administrative Intern at Gravely Elementary School. Last year provided countless opportunities to learn, grow, and build meaningful relationships with our students, staff, and families. I am grateful to continue serving a school community that is known for its commitment to excellence, strong partnerships, and unwavering support of every child.

One of the things I value most about Gravely is the culture of collaboration that exists among our students, staff, and families. This year, I look forward to continuing to support teaching and learning, partnering with families, celebrating student achievements, and helping create positive experiences that allow every Seadog to feel connected, challenged, and successful.

Outside of school, family is at the center of my life. I am the proud mother of four children. My three sons are college graduates, and this fall my daughter will begin her studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, joining her brothers as a proud member of the Ram family. I enjoy spending time outdoors, attending community events, and making memories with family and friends.

As we begin another school year together, I am inspired by Admiral Samuel Gravely Jr.'s enduring message:

I look forward to partnering with you as we support our students, celebrate their accomplishments, and make this another exceptional year at Gravely Elementary.

Warmly,

Abby French
Administrative Intern
Gravely Elementary School
