Dear Montessori Community,
As we close out this school year and plan for the next one, I would like to share changes in staffing.
I can announce that we are losing the following teachers and instructional assistants:
· Mrs. Heather Neiderhauser and her husband Sean Neiderhauser will be leaving the North community for a venture out of state. We wish them the best of luck in their travels.
· Miss Meg Davis who has been the instructional assistant to Ms. Leisla Church will be returning to ASU to work on her master’s degree fulltime.
· Mrs. Faith Lowe, instructional assistant to Miss Whiting will be giving birth in October and will be staying home with baby.
· Mr. Saber Hollenthoner will be relocating to sunny California.
Each of these individuals leaving has brought great value to our children and their colleagues. They will be greatly missed.
