Personnel Announcements
Dear St. Simon School Community-
I have truly enjoyed my time working with the faculty, staff, parents,
and of course, the students of St. Simon Parish and School. However, I
have decided to take an extended sabbatical next year, and may or may
not return to teaching when I am done. St. Simon has made a place in
my heart, and I will try to stay connected in what ways I can. Thank
you for providing such a caring and welcoming community--it has been a
joy to be a part of it. Sincerely, Jessica Parsons
Dear St. Simon School Community-
Over the past two years it has been my privilege and pleasure to teach

and administration over these years at this wonderful school. The
children, parents, faculty & staff have been blessings in my life
over the years. Thank you for making my time here at St. Simon a very
memorable experience.
