Additional Staffing Updates
Congratulations to Ashley Withers. She will become LSC district reading specialist for the 2019-2020 school year. We will miss Mrs. Withers as a first grade teacher at Edgelea but we know she willl make a great impact helping at the district level. We are thrilled to welcome Rachel Huffer back. Mrs. Huffer previously taught 2nd grade at Edgelea before taking a year off. She will be joining our 1st grade team and everyone is super excited about having Rachel at the first grade level.
Mrs. Penny Prather will be making a big move from fourth grade to kindergarten. She has many years experience at the kindergarten level and she is really looking forward to rejoining the kindergarten team. She will be taking Miss Deno's classroom. Miss Deno will become Mrs. Stegink on May 18 and will be joining her husband in the South Bend area. We will miss her and send her off with our best wishes!
Joining our fourth grade team which includes Amy Freeman, Macy Smith, Jennifer Banning will be Sarah Jarrells and Dorothy Corrie. Dorothy comes to us from Twin Lakes Meadowlawn where she taught 4th grade. The fourth grade team loved her enthusiasm and tech savvy skills. She has 6 years teaching experience. Sarah Jarrells will be moving to Lafayette from Lexington, KY. She and her husband have a baby daughter named Palmer. She has three years teaching experience and we feel very fortunate to have her joining our team.
We will be opening an additional resource room to accommodate students with identified special needs. Deb Meadows will be working primarily with K,1, and 2 students. We are happy to announce that Betsy Kissinger will be transferring from Oakland to Edgelea. She will be here full time and will be working primarily with 3rd and 4th grade students. Betsy has taught at Edgelea before so welcome back home to Edgelea, Betsy!
We are in the process of interviewing and hiring a third grade teacher. I will keep you posted.
