Panther Family Updates
- Debbie Qualls. Reached her 5th week out of having her transplant and in all reports and feedback from her doctors she is doing outstanding, far better than most. She has to have 4 biopsy's to confirm that she is not rejecting the heart. She has had 2 and they both came back good. She has made a few trips to Longview for a couple of nights at her home. She is so unbelievably thankful that she is feeling so good and is ready to embrace life with a whole new zeal!
- Garrett Plumlee is back at school! He is still recovering from his accident this fall but he looks great and we are glad to have him back at school.
- I had the pleasure of visiting with Savannah Wulbrecht over the Christmas break. She was in great spirits and hopes to be back at school in the next few weeks.
- Please continue to keep the Harshaw family in your thoughts. Pam is back at work this week. Dealing with tragedy is difficult, and it helps to have friends to help support you in the journey.
Kudos

Hi Mrs. Doron,
I just attended the Grade 5 Christmas concert and wanted to touch base quickly.
I have to say in all the years attending Christmas concerts for my children, this was truly the best. On a couple notes, kudos to the teachers for getting all those students in place and ready so quickly. That in itself was a large task I'm sure. Kudos to Ms Taylor for preparing them so well. She created a really enjoyable and uplifting program. And the kids did such a wonderful job, they really did. I was truly impressed.
Thank you and have a wonderful holiday.
