My Farewell to PCMS



For those of you who have not heard the news regarding my upcoming move and promotion...
 
I would like to take this opportunity to let the Park Crest community know how much I have loved serving their students. I am humbled daily by the extraordinary blessing it has been to work alongside such a dedicated staff, caring parent community, and awesome group of students. I have watched these students begin to develop a firm understanding of how their lives impact and intersect positively within the world around them. I have seen your students take risks to reach out to new students, forgive one another for wrongs done to them unintentionally or otherwise, and see how far taking responsibility goes with adults and their peers. I have seen parents and teachers partner together in a united front to ensure their students would not fail, avoid taking responsibility for their actions, and were successful.

I have loved and learned so much from the journey with each of your these past two-years! Nevertheless, I have some bitter-sweet news to share with you. As many of you know, my husband moved back to Chicago at the start of the school year. Just recently, I accepted the head principal position of a middle school campus in North Chicago. While I am thrilled about the position, being close to my husband, and the many experiences I have had here that I will use everyday up there, I am deeply saddened to leave this community. Your students are treasures, and your unrelenting advocacy for them has been a beautiful gift I will keep with me.

I would love to stay in touch, so please do not hesitate to reach out!
