Two Weeks and Counting

As of today, we are merely two weeks away from our official first day of school! Where the time goes, I do not know... a sure sign I am getting older.

We are terribly excited about a few new faces you will be seeing in our halls this year. After 39 years of service, Ms. Nancy Lochridge retired. She will be dearly missed. Filling her art position is Britney Harper. She comes to us from Georgia with her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia.

Kathleen Moss, a most kind and gentle pre-kindergarten teacher and servant of this school for a very long time, has also retired. That position has been filled by Emily Hammond. Emily earned her Elementary Education degree from Lipscomb University, and her M., Ed. in Reading from MTSU. She taught in Metro Nashville schools as well as the Harpeth Hills Church of Christ pre-kindergarten program.

To round out the list, we are thrilled to welcome a new third grade instructor, Sarah Williamson. Sarah received her BA in Communications from Abilene University as well as her M, Ed. from Pepperdine University with a certification in ESL. She taught several years in California before re-locating with her family to Nashville where she has most recently been a pre-kindergarten teacher at Otter Creek Church of Christ.

As you can see, we have made three very fine additions to our faculty. They are eager to meet you and look forward to serving DLES children this year.

Enjoy your last few days of the summer break. We'll see you on Registration Day, August 11th!

Shine,
JDG
