Cazadero Communications by Natasha Pehrson - September 2018
The early fog has burned off, leaving us with a lovely sunny day. The rage redwoods surrounding my airy cyber-hut are outlined against the clear blue sky and the smoke from the dreadful fires has dissipated here. We hope that those fires will soon be extinguished and we salute the brave firefighters for their tireless work on all of our behalves!
We must be eternally vigilant here in our woodsy homes! As summer moves along, the students at the Montgomery Elementary School will soon resume their classes. Things are just getting started at MES, with students busy settling in to the new year. Monday, Sept. 3rd is Labor Day and there will be no school. There aren’t any field trips planned in September, but there are many things the students can look forward to in the coming year. At the end of the school year, we said good bye to Julie La Plante as theDistrict Secretary. Julie had worked at Montgomery for over 3 years, and was a wonderful asset to the school. Her contributions were greatly appreciated. The Montgomery School Family is thankful for all of her hard work and dedication, and wishes her the best in her future endeavors. Be extra careful driving with early-morning kids waiting for the school bus!
