>Dear Montclaire Partners and Friends,
>>
>I want to thank you so much for your support of Montclaire over the past 3.5 years. Your volunteerism and service to our school are  hugely what has helped our school to reach great heights as a Title I/high poverty school. We could not do what we do here without you.
>>
>For this reason, I am sad to announce to all of you that I will be leaving Montclaire as of Friday February 19th. I have been asked by our Superintendent to go and serve another school in CMS in effort to bring about school improvement. It pains me to leave a school that I love, with staff and children that I adore. However, I do feel called to serve and help another school in CMS become the rich and warm learning environment much like the one we have cultivated here at Montclaire.
>>
>Your support of Montclaire is needed now more than ever during this transition. Some of you may be asked to be a part of an interview team to help search for Montclaire\'s next leader. Beyond that, your continued service as volunteers, lunch buddies, tutors, chaperones, etc. are needed to keep the focus on teaching and learning in our building.

>Again, thank you for love and support of Montclaire.
