Dear Gray Wolf Families,

I want to say what an honor and true privilege it has been to be your child’s principal.  After 19 years of serving as the Cle Elum-Roslyn Elementary School principal, I will now be moving to a new role as the Principal of Walter Strom Middle School. Having two kids of my own; one at the middle school and my oldest at the high school level, has given me perspective on the opportunity working with older students.  

I want to thank everyone in our Gray Wolf Family for your support over the past years.  A special thanks to our amazing staff who come to school every day, making elementary school a magical place to begin the journey through school and through life.

I will dearly miss being here with my Gray Wolves but will just be right next door.

While this is a new “role” it will be a continued relationship with our families and students as I have known most of them since they were literally babies.  I have always cherished following “my kiddos” through Middle School and High School.  Now, I get to take one more step along the journey with them.

Warmly,

Matt Chase
