Interim Music Teacher
I am pleased to inform you that in her absence Mrs. Muriel Hastings will be taking over the Linden and Gayman music schedules. Mrs. Hastings previously has had numerous substituting experiences. As a result, Mrs. Hastings is well familiar with our community, many of our children and families, and certainly the Central Bucks music curriculum. Our music program will be in good hands in Mrs. Volpe’s absence!
I know that we all wish Mrs. Volpe a successful and quick recovery.Parent Positive Series
