There is one more “classroom” to mention. The Owl’s Nest Office was named by the student body after noticing it was the only “classroom” that didn’t have a bird-related name. The Owl’s Nest is made up of Natalie Blake, Administrator, Becky Thompson, Administrative Assistant, and Shawnaly Tabor, Head of School. Becky and Natalie are the first smiles to greet you when you enter the office. Their purpose is to support the school, the parents and to do whatever needs to be done. If you need information and don’t know where to find it, head to the Owl’s Nest. If you have paperwork or a payment to turn in, head to the Owl’s Nest. If you just want to say “hi!” head to the Owl’s Nest.
