Unfortunately, while positions were offered to the following teachers, they chose not to accept positions at St. Elizabeth of the Trinity as they have decided to pursue other educational opportunities: Mrs. Alyssa Riehle (PreK), Mrs. Laura Bartuce (First Grade), and Mrs. Melissa Powers (Fifth Grade).  We wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Please know that we have already begun the interview process for the open positions and have many qualified candidates.

Wishing you all a healthy and safe summer,

Margaret Kinel
