A Message of Farewell from Ms. Gamboa
7/23/2020 6:47 pm
Dear Los Cerritos Families,
Today I’m writing to let you know that on Monday 7/20/20 the Long Beach Board of Education announced that I will be transferring to another school in Long Beach and I will no longer be your Principal at Los Cerritos. Although new beginnings are exciting, the element of the unknown can be difficult, especially during times such as these. I want you to know that I’ll be working on plans to virtually connect with our Los Cerritos students and to wish them well. I will also work closely and diligently with the new principal, Liseeth Ramos, to make sure this transition goes as smoothly as possible for our community. I’m excited for you to get to know Mrs. Ramos because she and I have been close friends and colleagues for almost 20 years. We taught together and collaborated constantly for nine years, we raised our boys together, and even worked on our certifications in Educational Administration together through CSUDH and LBUSD a little over ten years ago. Mrs. Ramos is such a strong, experienced leader, a huge advocate for students, and she has an amazing heart. I have complete confidence that she’ll take good care of our school. Although I’ll miss you terribly, I know you’ll be in good hands.
Because I’m, frankly, terrible at goodbyes and I still care deeply for you all, I’ll sign off today by saying that I hope to see you soon. I hope to bump into you at Steelcraft, at the supermarket, or at a school fundraiser someday in the future. Until then I will daydream about those chance encounters and future events, and I will look forward to hearing about all the amazing things that students will accomplish in the upcoming years.
Los Cerritos is in our hearts, and you’ll always be in mine.
Thank you for everything.
With love,
Alissa Gamboa
