From Ms. Barbara Wahlman, CFO…
I hope this email finds you and your family healthy and safe during these uncertain times. Paraphrasing the old saying “the only constant thing is change” comes to mind. I wanted to share some exciting events that have taken place in the Business Office this year. First, I’m very happy to share that I’ll be embarking on a new journey in my “next life” which will be official retirement. Many plans have been made with my family and friends to begin whittling away at the cliché bucket list. 😊 As often happens, one door closes and another opens. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of working side by side with my successor, Mr. Andrew Rissler, Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Rissler is very capable and knowledgeable of all things financial. I’ve learned a few things from Andrew during our time together. Please extend a warm welcome to Andrew as you did to me 6 years ago when I started here at San Tan. I’ve been blessed to meet so many beautiful families over the last several years whom I will truly miss.
From Mr. Andrew Rissler, COO…
I’m excited to step into my new role as the COO at San Tan Charter School. I’ve been working at the school for the last 7 years and have my own son in the preschool. I’ll miss working with Ms. Wahlman in the business office, but I’m thankful for all the knowledge and wisdom she has passed on to me. I’ll strive to meet the same standard of excellence that she strived for as she fulfilled the mission, vision, values of the school. I wish her well in this new chapter in her life as she enjoys her retirement.
Look out for your billing emails from Mr. Rissler arissler@santancs.com next week that have been traditionally sent from Ms. Wahlman bawahlman@santancs.com in the business office and please join me in thanking Ms. Wahlman for her wonderfully dedicated 6 years of love and service to the San Tan Montessori community.
