March came in like a lion.
Will it go out like a lamb?
I will be having Knee Surgery on my right knee on
March 25th so a long term sub will be taking my place for approximately
seven or eight weeks.
Emily Crouch has been recommended to me as being a good sub so she will
be subbing for me on Wednesday, March 11th and then shadowing me on the
12th and March 23rd and 24th. It should be a good
transition. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
call.
