NEWS AND HAPPENINGS

Holiday Show This Thursday

Jan. 19, 6:15 pm

SYV Presbyterian Church

A Note from Ruth - I want to let you all know, before you hear it through the grapevine, that I won't be returning to The Family School next year. I have enjoyed immensely my time here. I have loved your children and getting to know the families. I have learned so much watching our teachers and Julianne work, teach, care for and mentor our students. This school is a very special place and I feel very strongly about it's importance and value to this valley and it's families. I will be here until June, so I'm not gone just yet. I will help as we find someone to fill this position. I will be here to train and make the transition. I will also still be around! I'm not leaving the valley. I am going to be pursuing my art and Graphic Design work. So we'll still see each other I'm sure! I'm fairly certain I won't be able to fully stay away from campus.

Thank you everyone for your support at this school. You are all so important to the success we have here. I look forward to watching The Family School continue to grow in strength.
