2011-2012 Weekday Parent Handbook
August 23, 2011Letter from our new Director
August 16, 2011Dear Parents,
It is with great excitement that I write this letter. My name is Kelly Bachman and as of August 1, 2011, I was named the new Director of Weekday Ministry. I am thrilled to be in this position and to be able to work with you and your children this school year. I am no stranger to Weekday, as I have taught here for a total of 4 years and I have had my own children in the program for the past seven years. My family’s experience here has been phenomenal and I want nothing less for each of you.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Tennessee, my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State University and I am currently a certified teacher.
My husband Chuck is an attorney with the law firm of Turner, Bachman & Garrett in Marietta. My daughter Hannah is in third grade at The Walker School and my son Tate is four years old and will be at Weekday this year. We have been members at Marietta FUMC for 11 years.
Please know that my door is always open for comments, concerns, or suggestions. We will be constantly evaluating and coming up with ways to enhance our curriculum, instruction, fundraisers, committees, etc. and we are already making some exciting changes. I want to hear from you so we continue to make this program the best in Marietta. You are giving your most precious gift to us and we do not take that responsibility lightly.
I look forward to the start of a great year and for some new beginnings in our program. As I close this letter, I ask that you pray for the staff, parents and students as we start this school year. I couldn’t be happier that you are here and I look forward to meeting all of you at the PAC Playdate on August 18th at 9:00 am on the playground. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Sincerely,
Kelly Bachman, Director

Linda LeSueur Memorial Service
June 3, 2011It is with a heavy heart that I send this message out. On Sunday morning, Linda LeSueur, passed away. For those that were unaware, Linda had been battling cancer for the last six years. She fought this disease, as she lived her life, with strength, grace, courage, and dignity. All the while embracing God’s plan for her.
She loved each and every child who walked through the Weekday doors, and I believe that it was the children of Weekday Ministry who gave her the extra strength needed to fight as long as she did. I feel unbelievably blessed that my family, and yours, was touched by such a special woman.
I take comfort in the fact that Linda was able to spend the last few days with her family, in her home, and is now being embraced by our Heavenly Father.
Marietta First United Methodist Church
There will be a reception following the service in the Family life hall
