Last Ramblings from Redford
Dear Eldorado School Community,
It is hard to believe another school year is quickly coming to
an end. As we move into the month of June with all of its field
trips, testing and celebrations it is important that your child gets
plenty of rest to enjoy all of the activities.
As I prepare to retire after 35 years in education, I would like to
say a big thank you. Thank you to the students, staff and parents
for all of your support over the years, it has been an amazing
journey! I feel very privileged to been part of such a wonderful
school community. I would like to wish everyone a fun filled,
relaxing summer and enjoy the time with your children. One last
remark,
“Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow”,
Albert Einstein.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Redford
Our Garden
Our school garden is often
over run with weeds as we
move through summer. If
you have a few minutes to
spare or are just driving by,
please feel free to pull a
weed or two. Thanks.
