Teacher Spotlight: Jamie Williamson, 4th Grade
I just wanted to let you know that Cooper got the post card in the mail that you sent him. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. That was very sweet and thoughtful of you and you really made his day!
I also just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful year. I know it was probably your craziest, wildest and most stressful year ever, but you handled it with grace and a smile. Cooper and I really appreciate all that you did this year to teach him and help support him. He has grown more this year academically than any other school year so we couldn’t be more pleased and thankful for all of your hard work and we couldn’t be more proud of him.

2021 Summer Break “I DO” Program List: Identifying Opportunities, Developing Relationships & Organizing Partnerships for Youth!
Program Providers and Community Partners work so hard to provide positive youth programming; and Partners for Youth wants to make sure that their efforts are recognized and supported. One way that we like to support them is to educate the community about the free and affordable positive youth programs they provide that are available in Lexington and the surrounding area. We do this by developing and maintaining the “I DO” program list from information they provide us; and distributing that list during the School year, spring break, and summer break to organizations and partners in our list serve so that they can share with their youth and families.
Thanks for being a Partner for Youth!
Sincerely,
Angie Green Hampton
