Good evening,

During the summer we had the band director position open up at the Junior High School here in Carrollton. I am humbeled to have been offered the position as Director of Bands at Carrollton Junior High School. Although there are many factors that make this change of positions feel like a “loss” I am reminded that there are many more victories. The students that I have grown to love will no longer be students that I am parting with until high school, but will be students that I am able to connect with again at the Junior High. I have been granted a second chance to continue teaching your remarkable students whether it is this year or the next school year. That is something that excites me more than you know. I will be heavily active at the Middle School on a daily basis working with our new band director which will be announced very soon. She is an excellent educator and most of all an appropriate role model for our students that they will fall in love with quickly.  I can say with a 100% confidence that the rising 5th and 6th graders are in excellent hands next year.

I look forward to continuing this journey with many of you next year. Please keep in contact and do not ever hesitate to ask me any questions.

Sincerely,

Maria Menendez
