BES Families,

I hope this communication finds you and your family enjoying a wonderful start to the summer. With today being my last day as the proud principal of Brunswick Elementary, I wanted to extend my sincere gratitude for all of the well-wishes, gifts of appreciation, and most importantly for the positive connections that we have developed over the past 5 years. Each message, just like every individual connection, means so very much. My heart is full knowing the positive impact that has been realized during my principalship at BES.

I am so grateful for my 5 years serving and growing as the Principal of Brunswick Elementary; most certainly a time I will cherish and never forget! The connections and relationships that we have fostered together – all in an effort to serve our students and provide the absolute BESt for each and every one of them – are the foundations for our success together. Being Brunswick Strong isn’t just a saying…for BES, it has evolved into a description of our learning environment and culture that communicates, “we are resilient, we are kind, and we will ALWAYS DO OUR BEST!”

The contact information of your new administrative team, as of July 1, 2021, is included below.

Dr. Kimm Mazaleski – Principal – Kimberly.Mazaleski@fcps.org

Melissa Burton – Assistant Principal / PK – Grade 2 – Melissa.Burton@fcps.org

Thank you for trusting me with your students and allowing me to be such a significant part of their lives. My email address will remain the same, so please do not hesitate to share the growth and successes that your students will certainly be achieving! As I have so frequently shared with our students and staff, once a Railroader, ALWAYS a Railroader!

Fondly, Justin McConnaughey
