Dear Parents,

I will begin my leave on Wednesday, October 28, returning on Friday, December 18. Mrs. Marielle Young will cover my classes while I am gone. She is a licensed teacher, an experienced substitute at OLG, and an OLG parent. Please welcome her to our class! During my leave, you can communicate with Mrs. Young by sending notes with your child or leaving messages with the front office. I will likely not be checking my voice mail or my email during my leave.

Thank you for all your support and kindness during the last weeks of my pregnancy! If you have any questions, you may contact me by email at crusch@olgsch.org.

Fondly,

Catherine Rusch
