Farewell to Mrs. Marshall

Mrs. Marshall, Greystone's librarian for over 10 years, has made the difficult decision to transition to Spruce Grove Composite High School to revamp their library as well as have her hand in designing the new Learning Common's for the new Spruce Grove Composite High School! We will miss her greatly, but are also excited for her to go on one last adventure in her career. Mrs. Marshall is in her 35th year in PSD and will be celebrated this spring at Parkland School Division's Milestones and Merit celebration for staff! Mrs. Huisman will be joining us in a few weeks time and is transitioning to us from Forest Green!
