Dear CIS Families:
I hope you have had an enjoyable summer. I have been travelling to several cities in Texas and the heat has been unbareable.
We received an amazing donation of musical instruments this summer. Please send thank you notes to Tom Simon of Westgate Properties in Santa Fe, who made this possible. Also a great big thank you to Robyn Clarke, Peter Lukes, Rick and Lindsey Johnson, who made the trip to Santa Fe to load a truck full of instruments and then return the next day to unload the truck into a storage unit.
I also would like to bid farwell to Sandy Shepard our school receptionist. Sandy has accepted employment at another charter school. I know you join me in thanking her for her two years of service to our school and wish her well in her new career.
Another change in our school is the promotion of Frank Volpe as our new Assistant Principal. Mr. Volpe has been invaluable to our school weariing many hats and taking on many duties. Congratulations Mr. Volpe!
Please read this entire issue for information to help you get READY for our next school year, which begins August 15th.
Continue enjoying your summer. See you soon!
Dr. Elsy Diaz
Head Administrator
