Dear Families,
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to you today. As many of you may already know, Mrs. Minke’s daughter past away suddenly late last night after prematurely giving birth to a baby boy. Mr. and Mrs. Minke have traveled to Michigan to be with their family at this time.
Today I explained that Mrs. Minke was spending time with family, and she will return to us as soon as she is able. Ms. Cynthia Apter and I continued with Mrs. Minke’s lesson plans and classroom routines. The kindergarten team is ensuring that our classroom has all the materials and support necessary to continue our learning endeavors.
In lieu of flowers, it is my understanding that an account is being established for those wishing to contribute to deferring the costs of funeral services. That information will be shared when it becomes available.
Please know that myself, and your child’s substitute teacher are dedicated to keeping this sad time as consistent as if Mrs. Minke where here.
Sincerely,
Darla Kiernan
