Dear
Parents/Guardians,
When I came to
Hopatcong more than 21 years ago, I was commuting one hour each way. I
came in January and for the first month here, on at least three
occasions, it took me three to four hours to drive home because of major
snowstorms. I thought to myself, “I don’t know if I can do this!” But
time passed and I realized how much I loved working in Hopatcong.
Hopatcong became home for me so I moved to the area.
During my years
here I have worked with many children and found many new friends The
many parents, students, and extended families that I have met and worked
with helped me to grow as an educator and most importantly, allowed me
to enjoy my job at the Middle School.
At this time, I
would like to thank you for sharing your children with me. Every child
I have worked with has touched me in some way. I hope that in some
small way I have impacted the children as well.
As I leave to
retire on July 1, I wish you and your children the best that life has to
offer. I also wish my colleague and new Middle School Principal,
Jeffrey Hallenbeck, the best and hope that he too, is rewarded with as
many wonderful experiences that I have had.
I thank you the
parents, Dr. Wayne Threlkeld, and the many Board of Education members
that I have worked with and, of course, each and every student for the
wonderful memories I take with me!
Sincerely,
Theresa M. Williams
Principal
