Message from the Acting Principal
of Evergreen Charter School
Ms. Karen Leeper
March 2020
Dear Students, Families, Staff, Community and Friends:
I feel honored to once again recognize our dearest Evergreen. Evergreen Charter School is more than just a
school to many of us; it is a safe place, a first home, a second home, a dream, a dream come true, and a future.
It is important to continue to reflect on how Evergreen has had an impact on our lives, our children’s lives and
the community.
Over the past nine years I have had the opportunity to see Evergreen grow, evolve and touch the lives of
hundreds of children, parents and staff. The vision and mission are felt everyday along with the dedication of
all the individuals who have made and continue to make our home such a special place. Eighth grader Keira
Lassegue said it perfectly at the Public Hearing at Hempstead High School on February 24, 2020, “When one
of us wins, all of us win”.
We are all very thankful for the continued support of the Board of Trustees. I would like to take this opportunity
to recognize Mr. Bernardino and Dr. Brewster. Your continued passion and drive have enabled Evergreen to
flourish. All of us can only aspire to dedicate ourselves the way you have. You continue to amaze us! Because of
your tireless ambition and perseverance, parents have a choice in their children’s education. This is their right!
Thank you Evergreen for providing us a safe place to go to.
Thank you Evergreen for making all of us better individuals.
Thank you Evergreen for your wisdom, support and encouragement.
Thank you Evergreen for holding us to the highest standards.
Thank you Evergreen for giving us a home away from home.
Thank you Evergreen for loving us.
The spirit of Evergreen will continue to shine in our mission to prepare students for success in
school and in life.
Happy Birthday Evergreen,
Karen Leeper
Interim Principal
