I am writing to let you know that I will be leaving Discovery Park Nature Kids Preschool and Nature Daycamp in September. I have had eleven wonderful years at Discovery Park and I will miss it and you tremendously.
In my eleven years I have had the pleasure of :
• Playing, exploring, and learning with over 7000 campers
• Starting many new programs including Nature Birthday Parties, Discovery After Dark, and Nature Kids Preschool
• 725 fun filled days getting dirty with the Nature Kids
• Learning the names of over 60 plants and trees that call Discovery Park their home
• Watching Orcas by the light house
• Removing tons of English Ivy
• Planting nearly 1000 trees
• Exploring nearly every inch of 560 acres
• Working with collegues that are smart, witty, and wonderful
• Being entertained by a vast array of Junior Naturalists
And although I will be physically leaving my home away from home at Discovery Park, it will not be leaving my thoughts. I will think often with fondness and gratitude about all my adventures, friends I have met, and things I have learned.
While I am at Discovery Park and while I’m away, I am committed to saving and growing our Nature Kids and Discovery Park Family. As most of you know I never go quietly and this will not be an exception. Nature Kids is my baby and I will not abandon her, just change locations of where I support her from.

I look forward to sharing my upcoming adventures and hearing yours too!

Thank you for all the wonderful energy you have given to growing NK Preschool and summer programs. You have enriched both my children's lives in more ways than you can imagine.... and for this, you will not be forgotten.
