Dear Roadrunner Families,
It is with mixed emotions that I am writing you all to share an upcoming
change in my life. You may have already heard from your children, but
it is important to me that I reach out to you as well to share that I
will not be returning next school year. As you can imagine, it has been a
very emotional process for me in making this decision, but in the end, I
feel that this is the right choice in order for me to grow in my
professional career. It has always been my dream to open a private
therapy practice to help children and their families during difficult
times. Last year I opened doors to Ensemble Therapy, and it has been
quickly growing ever since. In the fall I also began teaching in the
Social Work department at the University of Texas at Austin, spreading
my knowledge of how to work therapeutically with children. In order to
dedicate the time and attention these new endeavors require, I have made
the difficult decision to make this my final year at Lee.
I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your support, and
for entrusting me with your children for the past four years. I am
honored and feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to be
part of the Lee Community. I have so many wonderful memories of my time
at Lee and I am very sad to say goodbye. During my four years here, I
have fostered relationships with many of you and I will cherish the
memories and friendships I’ve made during my time. Lee Elementary has
been a very special place for me and I will miss everyone.
Know that my dedication to my position as your school counselor will
continue as we transition to a new counselor throughout the summer.
Although it’s hard to say goodbye to you, the hardest part of leaving is
saying goodbye to the children. I have grown so attached to them over
the years. I have loved watching them grow up into amazing young
individuals. Please give them a hug for me and let them know how they
have touched my heart and life. I treasure my memories of them all.
Please stay in touch and I look forward to hearing about your child’s
future successes.
Please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation as I enter into a new learning experience of my own.
Love,
Ms. Sepp(y)
