MSFW salutes two primary teachers that are departing for other adventures after this school year. Kathy Schimmel is embarking on a sailboat cruise in the Caribbean Sea next year with her beloved, Marion. They plan to explore life to its fullest! We hope to welcome her back in the near future and hear all about this trip of a lifetime!
Sarla Shanthakumar has been a lovely addition to our faculty this year. She is moving to Plano to share the responsibilities of aging parents with her family members. Our heartfelt gratitude to Sarla for her year with us at MSFW. She has been such a beautiful example of inner peace for all of us.
We welcome back Katie Blair to our North Primary class. Katie previously taught at MSFW and is a well-respected Montessori teacher. She will assume responsibilities for Kathy Schimmel.
Sharon Hoffman will be teaching in the 2South classroom with her mentor teachers, Julie Sphar and Gail Corley. Sharon has taught for many years at St. Andrew Catholic School. The Montessori method has intrigued her since sending her own children to a Montessori school over 20 years ago. Last year, Sharon enrolled in a Montessori teacher education course and she will be completing her internship with our two experienced and talented Montessorians in the 2South classroom.
