A Farewell Message from Ms. Kapica

 It is so hard to say goodbye! 

As I reminisce about my tenure in CPS, I have to say that I was lucky to work under great leadership and I met many charismatic people along the way.

For almost half of my career, I was blessed to work at Prusssing as your assistant principal. The Prussing community welcomed me and showed me love from day one and for that I am grateful.  My motto was that we are an extended family and I took to my heart the well-being of your children, wanting all of the  students to become good citizens.  I believe I accomplished this. It was my honor to see your children growing and graduating each year. 

I want to send my gratitude to all the Prussing stakeholders for your support, especially my bilingual parents. I am proud of the Prussing community where we speak various languages and we respect each other. It is evident year after year during the International Parade and I am delighted to call that part of my legacy. 
​
Prussing is my second home and I will always cherish in my heart the GREAT 14 years I spent here. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work for your community. 
​
Enjoy your vacation and see you around!
Sincerely,

Hanna Kapica
