Through our whole-child approach, we have been working diligently to ensure strong academic standards, the well-being of our students, and a safe, supportive school culture. I feel truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful and dedicated GSA-Smiley community.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional administrative team—Ms. McCann, Dr. Streicher, and Mrs. Stokes—for their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment. Every success we achieve comes from teamwork, and I am deeply appreciative of our outstanding teachers, support staff, and every employee of Smiley and Smiley parents who contribute to our culture of academic rigor, excellence, and positive school culture.
I also want to extend a special thank-you to our Smiley parents for their continuous support and positivity. Your encouragement provides our staff with motivation and energy—it truly makes a difference!
My motto this year is neuroscience teaches us: when we think positively, we act positively, and our brain functions at its highest capacity. With this mindset, there is nothing we cannot accomplish together.
At Smiley, we are committed to thinking positively, acting positively, and staying motivated. Even when we receive constructive feedback or criticism, we approach it with a productive and forward-thinking attitude to make the most of every opportunity for growth.
Let’s continue this momentum and keep supporting one another as we strive to reach our highest potential—together, as one team.
We are Smiley, and together we succeed—every day!
-Mr. Nuh Celik, Principal
