Dear Families,

On Friday the amazing Mrs. Cyndi Niccolai came into the classroom for the last chunk of our day. She honestly made me emotional as she interacted with the students. Her loving passion, gentle way, and sincere faith communicate such care for children in such a natural way. She had all of them listening and excitedly offering up answers politely in just moments of talking with them. I am overwhelmed with gratitude that God worked it all out for her to be with your children.

She taught at Bethany for many years as both the Kindergarten and 1st grade teacher. She was the department leader for K-2 for much of that time. Her wealth of knowledge and mastery of craft are so evident. I am sure there will be changes and differences here and there. However, I am certain that your children will be in great hands and will have another teacher excitedly helping them grow.

Below are pictures from Friday and an unmasked picture of Mrs. Niccolai [Nicole-i] so you can see her beautiful smiling face!
