At the end of the month, we will be saying goodbye to one of our beloved Pre-K teachers – Mrs. Mary Villano, who has decided to relocate to sunny Florida. Taking over the 3-year-old program will be Mrs. Mary Holmes with Mrs. LaChance as her assistant. A new add to the Pre-Kindergarten staff (as a teaching assistant) will be Mrs. Kate Davis.
Mrs. Davis has a degree in Child Studies and a Master’s degree in Reading & Language Arts. She previously taught Kindergarten at St. Christopher school in East Hartford prior to taking some time off to raise her children over past several years. Mrs. Davis, whose 3 children are enrolled at our school, has been actively involved with our Home & School Association for many years now. We are excited to welcome her to our teaching staff!
While we are sad to say goodbye to Mrs. Villano, we know this relocation is something she has wanted to do for quite some time. We wish her all the happiness in the world and look forward to staying in touch.
