A Note...

regarding Sam's fourth grade teacher; for those of you who knew her:

"A Note from the principal to the students and their families in Mrs. Lane's class
Thursday February 12, 2009

Dear Students and Families,

It is with deep sadness that I let you know that Margaret Lane died earlier today at the Huntsman Cancer Center. As you know Margaret had been ill for several months. She had been undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer.

Margaret's passing is a tremendous loss not only to Wasatch Elementary School but also to her husband and to all her friends on the faculty and throughout the community. She was a model educator ---experienced, smart and incredibly dedicated.

Margaret's family and close friends are just now beginning to make arrangements for a memorial services to celebrate her life. We will provide more information about these plans as they become available next week.

Take a moment to remember all the wonderful moment and days you were lucky to have with Mrs. Lane. Talk about these times with your classmates and your family. And if you'd like to talk to me about Margaret, I'd be happy to do that, too.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Have fun tomorrow, but think about Mrs. Lane, too. We will miss her. Sincerely, Mrs. Miller


Sam has had a permanant substitute Mrs. Poulsen. She is amazing and we are happy she will be continuing to teach him.
