A Note from a former CFS Teacher and Friend

A couple of weeks ago as I stood and surveyed the big mess created by excavating the playground, a red car pulled in the CFS parking lot and a very enthusiastic woman approached. She introduced herself as Erica Stover, the primary teacher prior to Shirley's arrival. She said she had received our fundraising packet in the mail and just couldn't quite imagine what the project was going to look like and since she was in town visiting, she wanted to check it out for herself. Even in that very disheveled state, she was so enthusiastic and genuinely excited for the school. She spent a bit of time inside and drafted a note to all of the teachers. It was such a wonderful tribute that I wanted to share it with all of you friends following our expansion project...

"This expansion is outstanding! What a giant step CFS is making in this generation. I wish you all the most exciting year ahead. Despite all of the change, I still find CFS so comfy and familliar. Knowing that the school survives and THRIVES is a thrill!"

"CFS shaped me in ways I will honor for the rest of my life. Goodness knows, I almost lived here year round! This environment is in my heart forever. All my best to you 0 over the waves of change and off to new horizons. Have a fantastic adventure!"
