Mary Collins School At Cherry Valley

Dear Friends, Thank you to all who checked in on me while I was out sick. With lots of bed rest, hot tea, antibiotics, and well wishes, the strep is finally subsiding. As most of you know, my days are full. To miss even one, feels like a week, and as a school principal, there is never a good time to be away. This weekend too, I am sorry to have missed Mike Watt and many of my MCCV students and parents at Lumacon. I know a lot of effort was put into creating this magical eve...nt for so many here in Petaluma. I have no doubt it was fabulous! Today I am also going to miss Jen Stoneman and the Petaluma River Clean up. This one hurts. I know again many of my school community will be there to support the effort and our school. Please share photos with me of today’s events! Even though I cannot be there in person, I am there heart and soul. If you are able bodied, willing, and available, please help MCCV and Petaluma Citizens Clean up the Petaluma River today! Link to info https://www.allforgood.org/projects/xJY1q1JD Thank You A

Have we told you lately that we love you??? Seriously, PTA, thank you for the thoughtfulness of making a beautiful staff lounge where we can regroup, recharge, and reconnect a reality. We are (almost) getting over our fear of spilling lunches on the nice furniture!
