Dear Dolly Ridge Parents, 

I am deeply honored and excited to be named the new principal of Vestavia Hills Elementary Dolly Ridge. As I step into this important role, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to each of you for the trust and support you have shown in me and in the future of our school community.

It is truly a privilege to lead this incredible school, which has such a rich tradition of excellence, and to work alongside such dedicated educators, staff members, and families who care so deeply about the success and well-being of our children. I am committed to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their fullest potential.

I believe strongly in the power of collaboration between school, family, and community, and I am eager to continue to build strong partnerships with each of you as we work together to continue the legacy of excellence here at Dolly Ridge. Your involvement, your feedback, and your dedication to our school are what make this such a special place. 

In addition, we are thrilled to welcome Ms. Jennifer Bailey to the Dolly Ridge family. With her extensive experience and expertise in education, she brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for student success that will be invaluable to our school community. We are truly grateful to have her on our team, and we look forward to the positive impact she will have on our students, staff, and families.

Together, we will continue to create a nurturing and vibrant environment where every child thrives. I truly believe that by working together, we can accomplish great things!

Thank you,

Lorie Belski
