WAITE PHILLIPS ELEMENTARY

PRINCIPAL NOTES: This will be the final newsletter of this school year.  It will also be the final newsletter from me as Principal of Phillips Elementary.  I have had the privilege of working with students and families at Phillips for 14 years.  At the conclusion of this school year I will retire from 39 years in education.  It has been a wonderful journey and I am so glad to have been able to spend so much time with the Phillips community.  Thank you for your support over the years and I wish each of the best for the future.
