Lenox Elementary
Family Newsletter--June 9 2021
As you have all heard by now, I will be leaving at the end of this school year. I have been selected to be the principal at Butternut Creek Elementary starting July 1. I will miss the amazing community that is Lenox. You have made the past five years some of the best of my 21 years in education. I will miss seeing our Lenox Pioneers grow and excel, but know that I will hold you forever in my heart and memories. I wish you all the best as you move forward and know that you will be in great hands with your new principal, Mrs. Sarah Keller and the outstanding staff at Lenox.
I also want to take a moment to recognize the amazing staff who will also be moving on to other places next year:
- Mrs. Stephanie Timmons, Kinder teacher has been selected to be a teacher at the new HSD school, Atfalati Ridge Elementary
- Mrs. Jessica Mendonca, EL Specialist will be moving to Washington with her family
- Mrs. Anne Knewtson, Special Ed Asst. has been transferred to Patterson Elementary
- Miss Haley Green, Special Ed Asst. has been transferred to Mooberry Elementary
- Mr. Juan Martinez, Education Asst. will be running his small business in audio production and engineering full time
Best of luck to them on their next adventures! They will be deeply missed.
I would like to officially welcome Mr. Matt Ledbetter, classroom teacher to the Lenox staff for next year. He student taught this year with Mrs. Erin VanDyke in 3rd grade and then took the long term 2nd grade substitute position for Ms. Amber Young this spring. We are excited to have him join our team!
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Gina McLain
