We are so sad to announce that Ms. Joyce needs to step out of the Pre-K 2 class as a regular teacher. It is completely a health need and not due to anything else. However, Ms. Joyce will be taking over all the chapel times on Thursday, and she has even filled in for us in music twice now when Ms. Maria was out. So we are definitely not losing her completely! The teachers have commented that Ms. Joyce does a stellar job leading the children during chapel time, so I am very thankful that she is doing this. For those of you who do not know Ms. Joyce, she has served in the past as one of our children's ministry directors at FCC and currently leads several Bible studies and other church outreaches. She is a wonderful asset to MDO!
Another asset that we have had this year is a great group of substitutes. One of them, Stephanie Haynesworth, has subbed in just about every class and already knows many of the children. She has previous teaching experience in various areas and is a member of FCC. She is also a mom herself! She will now join Ms. Amy as a team teacher in the Pre-K 2 class. We are definitely happy that she is coming on board!
