To all the families and students of the Reid Ross Classical community:

My time at Reid Ross as an Assistant Principal is quickly coming to a close. I will be staying

with Cumberland County Schools and moving to Mac Williams Middle School as of August 1st .

To say I have been blessed by the Reid Ross Community these past five years would be the

understatement of the century. I was welcomed into this school and community and made to feel

like I was part of the family from the beginning. I want to express my sincere gratitude for

allowing me the opportunity to serve you and your children during the past five years. We have

had many ups and downs, as families do, but we have persevered because we have had each

other to lean on and to look towards for support. Your families and children have made me into

the person and leader I am today and I mean it when I say that my time at Reid Ross has changed

my life for the better. I move into this next chapter with my cup and heart overflowing with pride

and love for all the wonderful memories we have created and the work we have done. I will

always love your children as if they were my own and I will continue to be cheering them on

throughout their journeys. The picture above is of our most recent graduation. This is one of

many students I had the opportunity to watch go from Middle School to High School and then to

graduation. I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to have all of these wonderful moments

with your children. As the saying goes, “this is not goodbye, just see you later”. I love you all

from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for everything!

Yours in education,

Christin Etchison
