Dear Montessori Community,

As we close out this school year and plan for the next one, I would like to share changes in staffing and program configuration.
• Ms. GiHwa Hughes will be leaving to begin an internship for the iLeadAZ program where she will be working towards her leadership credentials.
• Ms. Rathert will be a stay at home mom!
Both of these teachers have brought great value to our children and their colleagues. They will be greatly missed.

Here are the staffing plans for next year:
Faith North Primary Teaching Staff: Ms. Marisa Punchios, Ms. Jodi Schramm, Miss Robin Miller
Faith North Junior Elementary Teaching: Ms. Wendy Silver, Ms. Leisla Church
Faith North Senior Elementary: Ms. Gina Roam, Miss Fun Chan
Faith North Adolescent Program 7/8: Ms. Jennifer Matthews, Ms. Shayne Sotelo
FNM@Shaw Montessori Primary: Ms. Denise Standage, Ms. Krista Whiting, Ms. Megan Trezise and Ms. Shaily Yogi
FNM@Shaw Junior Elementary: Mr. Chris Euzarraga, Ms. Paula Craig
FNM@Shaw Senior Elementary: Ms. Crystal Graham
Montessori Resource Specialist: Ms. Tonia Downing-Easton
Special Education Resource: FNM@Shaw: Ms. Yolanda Wheelington
Music: Mr. Robert London, services to both campuses
PE: Mr. Steven Larson FNM@Shaw Patsy Harvey

Program changes will include returning art to the classrooms and eliminating reading intervention pullouts. Ms. Church will relocate to the main campus to take a lower elementary position. Ms. Crystal Graham will move into the position of upper elementary (4, 5, 6) teacher at FNM@Shaw. Ms. Paula Craig will have a lower elementary (1, 2, 3) class.

Please join us on Monday, July 29th for Back to School Parent Night to be held on both campuses. This evening is designed for parent information purposes only. Children should not attend. Times are as follows: primary 4:00-5:00, lower elementary 5:00-6:00, upper elementary 6:00-7:00, middle school 7:00-8:00. Tables will be set up to assist you with PEER Club, bus schedules, PTA, Site Council and other school information.

Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (602) 257-4069.
2013/2014 class lists will be posted on May 20th. Class supply lists will be posted on teacher blogs.

Wishing you a fun and delightful summer. See you on the last day of July!

All the best,
Susan Engdall
