Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! As you may have heard, our beloved school secretary Mrs. Pepple is retiring at the end of this year. She has served our district for 35 years and has been the heart of both Cass and Buchanan Elementary. I can't even imagine not having Mrs. Pepple in our front office and as my partner. She will be missed beyond words. We know that so many within our school community would love to come in and wish Mrs. Pepple all the best in her retirement. Unfortunately, safety restrictions prevent our families from doing so. Mrs. Pepple would love to hear from you though as we spend the next couple of weeks honoring all that she has done for our school community. Please feel free to send her a message, past photos of her and your child, a drawing from your child, cards, etc...via email at ppepple@livoniapublicschools.org prior to June 23rd. We know she will appreciate and cherish each one of those messages. Thank you for helping us send Mrs. Pepple off with lots of love and appreciation as she begins her new adventures!
