A Message from our Administrative Team
We recently shared the news that LaShonne Wright will be leaving LoES to begin serving as Assistant Principal at Lisbon Elementary School. We also learned this week that RosaMaria Gamble, our Hispanic Liaison, will also be moving on from LoES in order to pursue a teaching opportunity. Additionally, both Priscilla Andachter (Kindergarten Paraeducator) and Lisa Holston (5th grade teacher) will be retiring at the conclusion of this school year. Each of these women have been an integral part of our Longfellow school community and each of them will be moving on to write new chapters in their lives or careers. Please join us in wishing them all the best of luck as they move on to new opportunities. With their departure, new faces will join the LoES team as we continue to collaborate in order to meet the needs of our LoES students.
As we move into the summer months, additional updates will be shared with the LoES school community as we relax and enjoy some down time while also preparing for the 2018-2019 school year. Please take some time to check out what will be happening at school during the last full week of the school year leading up to our last day of school on Tuesday, June 19th.
Warm Regards,
LoES Administrative Team
