Kudos to Patti Tenhagen, Jack Schmidt, and Marilee Hoffman for all of our hard work putting together our upcoming Waller/Cooper Kindness day! Your behind the scenes work is appreciated as it will be a great day for all students involved!
The choir concert this past Thursday was a great performance. Congrats to Rod Stoughton and all of our students for their performance! Bringing up alumni each year is a nice added touch at the end.
Thank you to Kim Moss and Jane Peterson for their consistent behind the scenes when we have a staff luncheon. They assist each time with set up and take down... thank you both!!! Thank you to Kris Thomsen as well for a quick run to the store for plates!
