“I immediately felt at home and knew I wanted to become part of this school family.”
Taylor said she is excited to have Hall join the elementary school faculty.
“Mrs. Hall brings great energy, a heart for kids, and a real passion for supporting teachers and families,” Taylor said. “I know she’ll be a wonderful addition to our school community, and we’re lucky to have her on board.”
