NEW BOARD MEMBER
The Cedar Springs Board of Trustees would like to welcome the newest Board Member as of January, Tina Rheault. It's always gratifying when alumni parents return to contribute to the school. (This year we have a few Board Members whose students graduated from CSWS.) Tina's daughter Christine attended CSWS from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade, while Tina served as Business Manager at CSWS for three years, and also provided enrollment and auction support. Since her recent return, Tina has volunteered to lead the school's grant committee and has already submitted several grants. "I firmly believe in the mission of this school and want to help with its continued success," notes Tina. Thank You Faculty for a Wonderful Advent Spiral and Marionette Show!
Dear Faculty, Thank you for your gift of the Advent Spiral. It was a wonderful way to usher in the holiday season. The event was reverent and moving and guided along at a steady pace.
Laura Hauge, Board of Trustees President and CSWS Parent of Evan (5K) and Erynn (3rd) |
