We are proud to announce our new Parents as Teachers Director! Please reach out to her with any questions!
From Bridget: Hello!! My name is Bridget Mount. Many of you know me from the Food Service program at school. I have been the Food Service Director for the past 4 years and I was also the Assistant Preschool Teacher for 2 years when the school first started the preschool. I am the Food Service Director again this year but I am adding a new job title as well.
I am very excited to take over the Parents As Teachers program after Miss Jina retired. I am looking forward to meeting all of the little ones. I will also be over the Hudson and Montrose PAT programs. There will be some changes due to scheduling since I am also the Food Service Director. Unfortunately there will no longer be Little People school. I will, however, be having visits on Mondays and in the evenings through the week. I will try to make accommodations to visit with as many families as possible.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at the school. I am looking forward to working with the children as well as their families.
