Letter from Miss Lina


Dear Lorena Primary Family,

            WOW!  It is hard to believe that this school year is almost over.  After 36 years working for Lorena ISD, I will be retiring.  I have been so blessed to have been a part of this AWESOME district!  I have seen many changes in my 36 year career.  However, there is one major constant in all this time—the smiles, hugs, and love of all the children.  The children are the reason that I love my job and what I will miss the most. 
            I am thankful to the parents for their patience, support and understanding.   Parents are an important as a member of the educational team.  I appreciate all that the parents have done for the school.  The PTO is so supportive.  I could never say THANK YOU enough for all you have done for the school and for me.
            I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with so many dedicated and caring teachers and support staff.  The love and care shown to our students is evident in all that you do.  All members of the staff are willing to do whatever is needed to ensure that the campus is a safe and loving place for learning.
            Even though I will not be at school each day, I will still be living in Lorena.  I look forward to seeing everyone at district and community events. I love to go to sporting events—see you there!  I would like to hear of the successes of all. 
            Some have asked what I am going to do.  My answer has been, “Whatever, Whenever”.  I love to work in my yard, so I can be found outside most days.  I will continue to be a life-long learner. Since I like to do crafts, I would like to learn how to do stained glass and oil painting.  I will do some traveling.  I love to do home improvement projects as well. I am looking forward to the next adventures in my life.
            In closing, I want to thank everyone for the amazing memories.  I have made so many friends and we have shared so many wonderful times.  I will miss the day to day work with all of my Lorena family.  I wish everyone continued success.  May you find happiness in all that you do!    

Love,


Ms. Lina

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!


I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the parents and students of Lorena Primary School for the beautiful Friendship Bench. Your dedication of this bench in my name is such a loving and thoughtful tribute. I know children will enjoy sharing times with their friends while sitting on the bench. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of so many lives throughout my career. I will be forever grateful to all for this perfect gift.

Sincerely,

Kathy Lina
Primary School Principal
