In Remembrance of Gayle Kirkendall
We wanted to let you know that Gayle Kirkendall passed a few weeks ago. From the Sargeant Staff:
We had the pleasure of having Gayle as part of the Sargeant Teaching Staff since 2016. Gayle was always positive, upbeat, and never let things get her down. Her love for others, including her family, friends, our staff, and our students, was something to be admired. She had a heart of gold for teaching and making a positive impact on students. She adored each and every one of them. She has touched our hearts forever and will be greatly missed.
