Leverty Letter
· Mrs. Gibbs’ Retirement
· PebbleGo For You
· Have a wonderful summer
Dear Montclair Families,
Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Amy Gibbs on her retirement. Mrs. Gibbs has been a beloved teacher/educator at Montclair, who has ushered in countless young learners over the years. Her passion was reading and she instilled that passion in her students too. She also extended great compassion and understanding, especially with students that struggled – they knew their teacher was there to motivate and assist at a moment’s notice. Most recently she has been our Intervention Specialist, helping children unpack their learning and feel successful. We thank Mrs. Gibbs for her years of service and wish her well in her retirement.
An exciting purchase for Montclair families, PebbleGo is an online non-fiction literature resources that will be free for Montclair families this summer. It has a K-3 series and a 3-5 series, with modules in science, music, technology, health, animal science, biographies and more. Teachers will continue to use the resource in the fall; however we want to allow families to explore it before kids return. Click on the link in the last Hawkeye news, and get started today or call the office.
Have a great break!
Sean Leverty
