A Message from the Principal
May 25, 2012
Dear Families,
A few weeks ago an interviewing committee consisting of teachers Ashley Jenkins, Robin Mauldin, Mandy Stelter, Marie Dolson, Jeannie Botelho, Akiko Revay, parent Mindy Hawley and myself interviewed candidates for third grade and a half-time special education teacher. We recommended an outstanding candidate for each position. I am happy to announce that each recommended candidate accepted the position at Llewellyn. Stephanie Cranley will be our new third grade teacher. She currently is a math specialist at King Elementary. Prior to being a math specialist she was a classroom teacher at King. Before coming to Portland five years ago, Stephanie taught in Arizona and California. Stephanie is excited to be part of the Llewellyn community.
Laura Gillies will be our new half time special education teacher in addition to Marie Dolson. Laura has been with the District since 1981. She was a speech-language specialist before becoming a special education teacher. Laura is teaching full time at Lewis School this year. Next year Laura will split her time between Lewis and Llewellyn. She is happy to be coming to Llewellyn.
Our Read to Ride contest is still going on until the end of the month. Students who read a total of 12 hours and have their parents sign/date the game board are eligible to win a new bike. Pictures of one of the bikes are on display throughout the school.
Sincerely,
Steve Powell
Principal
Llewellyn School
