Thank you and a job well done! Next week, Mr. Reeve will fulfill his student teaching responsibilities. He has done a wonderful job with the Folwell bands. I would like to thank him for his hard work and commend him on his approach and development. He will be around Folwell during the spring as he completes his elementary student teaching with Mrs. Mason. He is going to be a great music educator and make some school lucky to have him! Be sure to introduce yourself and congratulate him on his achievements.
