I wrote this newsletter with much joy and some sadness. I have had a wonderful three years here at Botha School. I have so many people to thank for all the support throughout the years. The staff, students and parents have been amazing and I will truly miss all of you. There are many changes happening at Botha School next year, and I know that these will be embraced and the support will be given when needed.
Again, I say thank you to my amazing staff, fantastic students and parents that are the most supportive and helpful.
Retirement is a big decision and change. I am leaving Botha School with many wonderful memories as well as knowing that it will continue to be the BEST little school around.
Have an amazing summer and hopefully I will see you all again.
