Dear Colleagues

As many of you already know, our fellow teacher, Ms. Hamilton, has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and will not be returning to the classroom. She is in the process of returning to her home state to be with her family there. However, she has been held up in town longer than expected due to the worsening of her condition. She is at the hospital now and will be there through the weekend and probably into next week. I wanted to let everyone know about this now so that - if any one of you are going to be in town over the weekend - you might have the chance to visit her. I know that she would like a visit or a phone call from you.

Thank you, friends.
