Happy Retirement to Mrs. Margie Hall!

After years of nurturing little hearts side by side with Mrs. Misty Junkin, beloved Preschool paraprofessional Mrs. Hall is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of love, patience, and unwavering dedication. With a heart as big as her smile, she has been a steady source of comfort and joy for countless children and our staff. Her strong presence and kind spirit have touched the lives of students, teachers, and families alike. As she begins this well-earned new chapter, her absence will be deeply felt at North DeSoto Lower Elementary. Mrs. Hall may be retiring, but the warmth and care she poured into our school will forever remain.
