A letter to our community and parents.
This week’s “spotlight” is on our wonderful health aid, Nicole Lewis. She has been at Townsend for 10 years. She’s married and has one daughter. Her favorite thing about Townsend are “the people”. Her caring for people at Townsend isn’t the only place she spreads joy. She paints rocks for the Kindness Rocks Project and Jackson County Rocks. Very cool!
It was a great day for an artist reception at Art 634. So proud of our Townsend artists!
Our monthly PBIS ticket winners for SOARING consistently!! Awesome job! Keep up the excellent behaviors!
