Some of the faculty at our school will be different for the next school year. There are others besides these four, but these are the ones that will have an effect on my students this year and next year.
- Our own Mrs. Nold will take a special education position at Joplin High. After teaching with our fourth grade team for several years, Mrs. Nold will be missed. She bought a different view of teaching to our family at Cecil Floyd. Nold will be replaced by Mrs. Stagner, who has taught with our team in the past.
- In the fifth grade, Mrs. Reeve has taken a position near Springfield to be closer to her husband's place of work. Mrs. Reeve has been a leader on the fifth grade team for a number of years now. She will be replaced by Mrs. Gilbert, who just wrapped up another year at another Joplin School, West Central.
- Ms. Scott, our art teacher, is also leaving with her family. After a few years in our art room, Ms. Scott has also decided to move out of the Joplin area to be with her family. Her shoes will be filled by Ms. Speelman.
- Finally, Coach Dance has decided to stay at home to be with her new baby. While we are sure that her replacement, Mr. Sharp, will do a fine job in her place, Coach Dance has always had high personal and moral standards, and there will be some adjustments to be made to get used to her leaving.
