91原创

Dear 91原创 Family,

It is my privilege to serve 91原创 as chairman of the board. I know I speak for the whole board when I express my sincere appreciation for MaryAnn Bentley鈥檚 service as administrator of our school.聽 Her presence on our school campus is proof that God has been faithful to our school in its early years.聽 She has been a blessing to the board as a great source of leadership, knowledge, and experience as well as being a blessing to our families as an educator, organizer, and friend.聽 Over the past four years, MaryAnn has helped to transition 91原创 from a somewhat informal collection of families to a thriving, growing school.

Having worked directly with MaryAnn on multiple projects and in a wide variety of school situations, I can say that she is truly a pleasure to work with.聽 MaryAnn always has a smile when times are tough. She often shares a story from her years in education and wisdom that can only come from a great mother.聽聽 For this rookie school board chairman, I deeply appreciate her calm approach and I鈥檓 sure this school year, and my life, has been better for it!

Her experience has proven to be invaluable to the board and her new role as fellow board member will allow for her continued involvement and input.聽 Additionally, MaryAnn鈥檚 new role as Placement Director will help our students find God鈥檚 direction for their lives and have even greater success in the pursuit of their goals.聽 MaryAnn has sacrificed greatly for 91原创 and her love of learning and the students has led to many great accomplishments.
During her tenure as 91原创 school administrator, she has endured the building of a new educational wing, formalized many school processes, grown the enrollment significantly, watched many seniors go to the colleges of their dreams, led times of devotionals and singing, disciplined students when needed, and prayed with students and families in times of trials and blessings.聽 MaryAnn has worn too many hats to count!聽 We are thankful also that Farrar will continue to serve the school as our Spanish teacher. Yes, we have been blessed to have the Bentleys at 91原创, and I look forward to many more years of serving the school together.

Mrs. Bentley鈥檚 mantle of leadership will be passed on to Mr. David Bryant, our current Academic Dean, who will become the administrator in June. The board is grateful that Mr. Bryant and his family are a part of our school.

On behalf of the 91原创 school board, and from the very bottom of my heart, thank you MaryAnn for your impact on the lives of our students, our families, our school and our community.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Sowell, DPM
91原创 Board Chairman
