Congratulations, Mr. Tuttle! We're lucky to have you!

Dear Parents/ Guardians, It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of one of our cherished staff members, Gail Horak. She passed away on Thursday, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, kindness, and a profound impact on our school community. Gail served as our school cook at Palermo Consolidated school for 22 years, where she was not only a valued colleague but also a mentor and friend to many. She loved working and her commitment to the well-being of our students was unwavering. Gail will be deeply missed by everyone. We understand that this news may be difficult for students and parents alike. To support our community during this time, we will have counselors available next week for students who need to talk or process their feelings. If you feel your child needs additional support, please do not hesitate to reach out. We plan to honor Gail’s memory in the coming weeks and will share details of these plans once they are finalized. In the meantime, we encourage you to talk with your children about their feelings and to reach out if you need any assistance or resources. Our deepest condolences go out to Gail’s family and loved ones. Please keep them in your thoughts during this difficult time. Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate this loss together. Sincerely, Stephanie Oliphant, Principal Palermo Consolidated School 993-2352
