Music at Williams for 2008-09 school year

Hello Williams Elementary community,

I have some unfortunate news. If you have heard about the budget cuts then you know what is happening. I will not be returning to Williams this year. I do have a position at Gainesville High School teaching 9th grade history. I have my certification in middle grades social sciences and it does fit in to what I eventually want to do with my music career. I have enjoyed my time at Williams and I will really miss the students, faculty, and staff. I hope that when the budget issue is settled, I can return to Williams as your music teacher.

Mrs. Hyatt will be your new music teacher for either the fall or spring semester. She is the music teacher at Idylwild Elementary. She is an excellent teacher and a great colleague of mine. I think you will have a great musical experience with her. Please show her the same courtesies as you would me.

Thank you for all your hospitality and support you have extended to me and my family. I hope to see you in 2009-10 school year

Mr. Thomas
