Principal's Message

Dear Naches Trail Families,

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself as the new principal of Naches Trail Elementary. It's truly an honor to be a part of such a wonderful community, and I am eager to begin our journey together.

 

In the upcoming months, I am looking forward to getting to know you. Open communication, positive relationships, and collaboration are key to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where our students can truly thrive. I am committed to working closely with you to ensure that we provide the best possible educational experience for our students.

 

The 24-25 school year will mark my 16th year with the Bethel School District. My journey began as a reading interventionist and classroom teacher, where I had the privilege of teaching every grade level from kindergarten to sixth grade. For the past 5 years, I have been serving as an administrator in multiple elementary buildings.

On a personal note, I find joy in spending time outdoors, whether it's working in the yard, going for walks with our dogs, or simply relaxing by a bonfire with my husband Jim and daughter Brooke.

Together, I am confident that we will embark on an amazing school year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. I am excited to work alongside you all. Together, we can achieve remarkable things, and I am dedicated to working with each and every one of you to ensure our students receive the best possible education and support.

 

Warm regards,

Sophie Brannon
