Deslynn shared the following message about Bev: "I want to give a shout out to Bev. She has had some big shoes to fill. Being in the Accountability Hearings with her I appreciate her experience as an FSL. She brings a new view to attendance as the FCL. It’s been great to hear her speak with families. Her background in the FAST program adds a layer of information and understanding that helps me as a liaison when working with students. Thanks, Bev!!"
Wonderful, Bev!

A poem written by Pam
"I wrote this poem in my early 20's. This Poem is the only published one I have written. Please enjoy my vision of Autumn which is my favorite time of year...."
Autumn's Calling
The sound of the wind...
Whispering through the trees
Sweetened by the smell of wildflowers
from a summer soon forgotten
Autumn's Calling
The sound of the wind
Whispering through the trees
Sweetened by the smell of wildflowers
from a summer soon forgotten
The suns rays slant down
Down through lodgepole pines
Trying once more to warm the day
Only to give in to the night
Sooner than the day before
The leaves are taking on hues
Of Gold, Auburn, and Rust
Bright against the backdrop of the forest
Like brushstrokes from some invisible painter
And once again the wind,
Singing its melody of seasonal change,
Autumn's Calling... ~PJM
