Congratulations, Ms Davis!
Thank you for your Service to
St. Joseph School
With a thankful heart for her 27 years of teaching kindergarten at St. Joseph School, we announce that Kerri Davis will retire at the end of the 2017-2018 school year.
Dear St. Joseph's Community,
I wanted to let you all know that at the end of this school year, I will be retiring from teaching. This was an extremely difficult decision! These past 30 years of teaching (27 at St. Joe's) have been so rewarding for me! I will absolutely treasure all these kiddos, and their families, that have come into my life. You will forever be in my heart. Thank you for being like a second family to me for all these years. I am truly, truly blessed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My next adventure is to build a tiny house and move out west!
Sincerely,
Kerri Davis

Please extend your congratulations and gratitude to Kerri Davis for her service to St. Joseph School! As a school community, we will honor Ms. Davis at our closing of school Mass on May 31st.
