It is with a great jumbled mix of emotion
that I write the newsletter this month, since this will be my last newsletter
as the Co-DRE at Olympia Brown. March 17th will be my last service
in official capacity as a staff member at OBUUC.
Several weeks ago, I was approached by the
superintendent of our local school district to apply for a position at the
district office. Such positions are
rarely open in our district and this was a very unique opportunity for me. After weighing all my options and looking at
the needs of my family, I have decided to accept the offer from the
school. Do not think that this was an
easy decision to make as I have enjoyed my time here with the children,
families and friends of Olympia Brown.
Leann will take over my portion of the DRE
position as a full time director and as I remain a member of this church who is
passionate about our youth and their religious education, I will still be
working in the Children’s Program as a substitute for her at least once a
month. So while the shift in
organization will happen – the children will still be working with the same
teachers on Sundays and their world should be affected very little. It was very important to both of us to keep
the program consistent.
I want to take this opportunity to thank
all the volunteers for your support and hard work over the last 3 years. Without you, this job would have been much
more of a struggle! J I
also want to thank all the families for all you do to bring those sweet
children here each Sunday and for letting me get to know them and love them so
much… I am very grateful that I don’t
need to say good-bye and can still spend my Sundays with you!
Many hugs and thanks,
Laura
