Coates Family Newsletter for 10/22/2021

Dear Coates Families,

As always, we have some important announcements.  The most important is our farewell and congratulations to an awesome staff member.  Mrs. Fran Peckham, administrative assistant, will have her final day at Coates on November 1st. She will then begin her new position as finance technician at Stone MS.  We congratulate her on her promotion, but we are very sad to say goodbye.  Many of you have been helped by Mrs. Peckham over the last 11 years.  She started as an instructional assistant in Kindergarten before moving to the front office, and she has added value to every team she has been on. Congratulations, Mrs. Peckham!

Fran
