Introducing St. James' Preschool's New Director:

Lisa Krepich

Dear St. James’ Family,

I am excited to announce the appointment of Lisa Krepich as the next Director of St. James’ Preschool. Lisa is no stranger to St. James’, having volunteered and worked in a variety of roles at our beloved preschool over the past twenty years. In addition to her passion and love of St. James’, Lisa brings her professional experience and background in nonprofit development, event planning, and recruiting. I am confident that Lisa is the perfect fit for the next chapter of St. James’ Preschool.

I am very grateful to our search committee members, including Mary Lou Leipheimer (Chair), Chris Brogan, Candy Hayes, and Susan Moffett, for their wisdom and guidance in this important process.

I am also delighted that Kim Carren, who has been serving as our Interim Preschool Director, will be staying on as our Operations Manager. This position will be responsible for assisting the Director in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the school. Kim brings invaluable knowledge and expertise to this role, and we are fortunate that she has agreed to stay on. I am also incredibly thankful for Kim's tremendous leadership over the past year as Interim Director.

With Lisa and Kim in place, I am confident that the leadership of our preschool is in the best hands possible. Please join me in welcoming Lisa and Kim to these new positions.

May God bless you and our beloved St. James’ Family in the years to come.

Blessings,

Chad+
