Dear Parents,

      Another school year has come to a close. Although every year of my career has been great, the 2016-17 school year has been special for me. After a forty year career being an elementary school teacher and principal, I am retiring at the end of June. Thank you for sharing your children with me. It has been an honor that cannot be expressed in words. Also, thank you for the many expressions of best wishes for me in the future. They are greatly appreciated. I will miss you all!

      Earlier this month the Scott School Home & School Association honored the teaching staff during National Teacher Appreciation Week.  Thank you! As always, it was fantastic. I would also like to thank Mrs. Butler, our Home & School president, and Mrs. Riddle, Our School Family Community Partnership (SFCP) president, for their service to Scott School.
