We will miss Katrina Williams as she retires this year. Her position will be filled by Jill LaFave, a 2nd grade teacher from Dundee. Dundee had to downsize a teacher so we are the lucky recipient -- Mrs. LaFave did her training at Mabel Rush and is eager to return!! Ray Jacobs, our evening custodian, will also retire this summer to pursue his passion for fishing and the SW desert. And, we wish Judy Brown well as she returns full-time to Newberg High School -- it's been great having her learn to be a school administrator at Mabel Rush.

2011-12 is lining up to be a great one!!
