Dear Lucile Souders Families,

It is indeed an honor to be selected as the newly appointed Instructional Leader of Lucile Souders Elementary School. The recent pandemic has opened our eyes to the value of alternative methods to meet the child where they are by any means necessary. These circumstances have taught us to be intentional, flexible, creative, compassionate, and accountable. We will continue these efforts as we prepare for the new era of education coupled with dynamic instruction and innovative practices.

Lucile Souders Elementary is widely known for the strong ties to the community, rapport with students, and a positive working environment. These staples make us Dolphins. As a team, we will continue to work collaboratively to meet the needs of every child every day. I am so excited about the upcoming school year and look forward to leading the best staff in Cumberland County Schools who serve the most deserving students.

Dear Dolphin parents, students, and staff,

I am very happy to serve as Lucile Souders’ Assistant Principal. It has been my experience that schools work best when the entire community rallies together to support students’ social, emotional, academic and physical growth, and Lucile Souders is definitely that place.  I am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful community of dynamic teachers and staff who are all “Champions for Children”.  As we approach this school year with a growth mindset, we will create a culture that values continuous improvement via intentional goal setting and reflective thinking. I look forward to working collaboratively with you during the school year as our Dolphin family continues to foster a positive school climate where all staff and students achieve personal success.
