Saying Goodbye to Mrs. Moran
I am sharing news that Mrs. Moran is resigning as of Friday, March 11th, for personal/health reasons. This information has not yet been shared with students because I wanted to share this information with parents first. Please feel free to talk to your children about this news and make sure students understand that Mrs. Moran is okay but at this time she needs to take care of herself and her family. Classroom teachers will have follow-up conversations with students to help them process the news as well. If interested, The Invisible String is a sweet little book written by Patrice Karst. The premise of the book is that we are all connected by an invisible string and even though it is invisible, you can feel it in your heart. The book's message is that no one is ever alone, even when a special someone is not physically present. Our school counselors have read this story many times over the years. Feel free to listen to it with your child, if appropriate. Our Green Meadows community will greatly miss Mrs. Moran. We wish her all the best and continued good health in the days ahead.
Green Meadows will be looking to hire a certified PE substitute teacher for the remainder of this year. We will keep families updated.
