"HELLO GOODBY" beatles

My granddaughter brought home a letter from Maple Elementary School today. In it Mr. Sebring after 13 years as a teacher and administrator as well as a student of Painesville City Schools he will begin a  new chapter in his educational career in a different school system.

I had not known what kind of principal or person Mr. Sebring was until August of 2011. When my granddaughter became part of the Maple family. After the first year of Winston the hamster and this year reading adventures into the lives Penguins I learned in a big hurry about Mr. Sebrings as well as Mrs. Starkey reading programs. I viewed commitment from staff, students and parents. Believing all the time I knew one of Painesville's best kept secrets. Or did I?

As Dr. Caster mentioned to all of us at the new Superintendent search, administrators are like sport free agents. Yes after they fulfil their contracts there are headhunters out there looking for the best and the brightest. This along with a resume that any principal would be proud to have. Someone noticed.

Maple is one of the bright lights in Painesville City Schools and I feel speaking for the Maple family , we are sad to see you leave and thank-you for what you gave us. Mr. Sebring will be successful where ever he goes. He has what Painesville needs the most drive.
