LETTER FROM MRS. SAHLEEN
An end-of-the-year message from Mrs. Sahleen, Rocket Readers:
As I look back over my 25-year career in education, 19 of which have been in Colton, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve so many students and families while working side-by-side with many outstanding people. In the words of Educator Rita Pierson: "Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be." It has been an honor to be the champion for so many Colton students - thank you. With that, as I prepare for the fourth quarter of my life, I am excited to see what comes next. Therefore, effective at the end of this school year I will retire from my certified teaching position at Colton Elementary School.
With gratitude and praise,
Mrs. Sahleen, Reading Specialist
