Stella May Swartz
August 9, 2024
Dear Salt Creek 48 Families,
It is with mixed emotions that I share the news of my departure from Salt Creek Primary and Stella May Swartz. Over the past 2.5 years, I have had the privilege of supporting your children as a school social worker. This role has been incredibly meaningful and I am truly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me to help guide and support your students’ growth. I have learned just as much from each student as they have learned from me.
Although I am excited about the new opportunity ahead, leaving this wonderful community is bittersweet. The connections I’ve built with students, families, and staff will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for welcoming me into your lives and allowing me to be part of your children’s educational journey. I will always look back on my time here with deep fondness and gratitude.
I wish all of you continued success, growth, and happiness. I am confident that Salt Creek will continue to thrive and be a nurturing space for all students.
Warm regards,
Crystal Phan
