Farewell Ms. Hibner, Return to School Updates and Read Across America Week

Patty

Dear Graham Road Community, 

After a long career at Graham Road, our beloved Assistant Principal, Patty Hibner, has accepted a position as Assistant Principal at West Springfield Elementary. Ms. Hibner has been a part of the Graham Road community for the past seven years! Ms. Hibner has had such a positive impact on so many staff, students and families. Her impact on Graham Road will certainly remain long beyond her tenure. Although we will miss her very much, we are excited for Ms. Hibner’s new opportunity and that she will be closer to her own family. Please take a moment to reach out to her to share your appreciation and farewell. Ms. Hibner’s last day at Graham Road will be Monday, March 1. 

The search for a new assistant principal is already underway. I look forward to sharing updates with the community after we’ve found the best fit and match for the school. 

Lauren Badini

Principal
