Note from Principal Keffeler Hello Meadow Ridge Families,
I have some staffing updates to share with you. Mark Smith-Lossiah has accepted the position of media specialist. Mark is entering the field of education after a successful career in project management. He has media specialist experience in South Korea, Costa Rica, and Apple Valley Schools. We will be saying good bye to Ellie Radue and Sasha Rieland at the end of this year. They are relocating with their families to Colorado and the UK, respectively. Taking Ellie's kindergarten position will be Sarah Diaz. Sarah comes to us with experience from Elk River Schools and Primrose of West Plymouth. We are currently interviewing candidates for Sasha's first grade position. Taking Angie Hoffman's place in fourth grade during her family leave will be Chris Schultz. Chris joins us with over 10 years of experience in Green Bay and Grafton, WI school districts. We hope to have Laura Baum's sabbatical position filled by the end of the week. I am excited to welcome these high-quality teachers to Meadow Ridge!
The class of 2032 will join us tonight at our kindergarten welcome night. Seeing our newest Cardinals is always energizing and gets us looking forward to the new year!
Best, Karen
