Greetings Eden Hall students and families,

I am writing to introduce myself as the newly appointed principal of Eden Hall Upper Elementary School. It is an honor to join this remarkable school community, and I am eager to get to know the students, staff and families of Eden Hall!

I come to Eden Hall as a former math teacher, English language arts teacher, district math coach and school administrator. Prior to joining Pine-Richland School District, I was a principal at Pittsburgh Arlington PreK-8 in the Mount Oliver area of Pittsburgh. As an educator and administrator, I prioritize creating a culture that fosters a love of learning and continuous growth for not only students, but also teachers and administrators.

Recently, I have had the privilege of speaking with district staff, which has given me great insight into the core values and beliefs that drive Eden Hall and Pine-Richland as a whole. With the goal of continuing the culture of excellence, I am committed to taking the time to learn about the current culture, systems and instructional practices at Eden Hall. Additionally, I look forward to utilizing this time to build relationships with Eden Hall's students, staff and families.

I look forward to officially joining Eden Hall Upper Elementary on Monday, February 13, 2023, and working alongside the excellent administrative team of Dr. Domagala and Mrs. Giran. Upon my arrival, please do not hesitate to reach out and introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting many of you during arrival, dismissal, school events and community gatherings.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Colleen Berezo, Principal
Eden Hall Upper Elementary School
