Plan for Ken's Absence

Dear Families,

As most of you know, Polly and I are part of the Kids for Kenya student service trip to Nairobi. We will be leaving with our splendid group of eight high schoolers (two from our own advising, Elias and Marcus) this Saturday. We will be performing service at our sister school Humble Hearts for the entirety of the two weeks just before Spring Break.
I will have a substitute, David DeFauw, for all of my classes, including advising. David is engaging, capable, and well liked by students. He will be a responsible, creative presence for the daily activities of advising. Should you or your student have need of the advocacy skills specific to a high school advisor, you (and they) are encouraged to seek out one of the other advisors during my absence. They are prepared to assume this role and will be able to help with any concerns you might have. They may be contacted via email at:
• Elizabeth@TrilliumCharterSchool.org
• Jess@TrilliumCharterSchool.org
• Will@TrilliumCharterSchool.org
Each of my advisees has been encouraged to seek out the advisor with whom they would feel the most comfortable working.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns for David directly he can be reached via email at DavidDeFauw@hotmail.com.

Best,

Ken
