"Count your many blessings, name them one by one" --unknown

This is indeed a wonderful time of the year. It is a time for me to take stock of all of my many blessings. Of course, I begin with family and friends then go on to include the blessings of my work with you and your children. I give thanks for the church staff and community, our attractive and well equipped facility, and our gifted and dedicated teaching staff.
This month I want to spot-light Mrs. Lyndel Doran. Mrs. Doran grew up in Dallas. She attended Mary Immaculate, St. Monica, and Ursuline Academy. She received a B.A. in Psychology, with a minor in Education and History and later received her MBA. from the University of Dallas. She received a Masters in Information Systems and says she was fortunate to be able to work in the Telecom industry at a time when it was growing at a very fast pace.
Mrs. Doran has a long history with Creative School as both a parent and a teacher. She and her husband Mike have two children. Evan attended the two year old class through Kindergarten. He is now a fourth grader at All Saints Catholic School. Ariel is a senior at Ursuline Academy and was recently named a National Hispanic Scholar. Ariel and her parents are in college application mode--an exciting, but anxious time.
Mrs. Doran is a certified Early Childhood through the 4th grade teacher with the State of Texas. This is her fifth year at Creative School teaching three year olds. She teaches two groups of children, a total of 15 students, five of which come all five days. On Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays she performs Lunch Bunch duties. Mrs. Doran also serves on the Creative School Steering Committee as a teacher representative. Of teaching she says, "Every year is a new journey of discovery with the children. I am honored and blessed to be able to have this important role in the lives of these children." I am sure that you join me in counting Mrs. Doran as one of our many blessings.
In December I will share a short bio of Mrs. Sheri Lenzen, our Kindergarten teacher. Between now and then I send Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours,

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
