Welcome to QLS and Grace, Mrs. Mary-Elaine Leake

August 23, 2011

Dear Parents of Grace Lutheran School and Queens Lutheran School:

It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Mary-Elaine Leake as Director of Grace Lutheran School and Principal of Queens Lutheran School. Mrs. Leake comes to us with thirty-two years of experience as a classroom teacher, principal, and early childhood director. Most recently she has been serving as director of the Bethlehem Lutheran Nursery School in Baldwin, Long Island. I have known Mary for twenty-two years. She began her teaching career at Queens Lutheran School, so she is “coming home” to take the leadership of both school programs at Grace. We are fortunate to have found someone with such extensive experience in both early childhood and elementary education.

With the start of the new school year just two weeks away, Mrs. Leake will be busy meeting with teachers and staff to prepare to open our doors for the first day of school. We will announce a time when parents can meet and greet her in the very near future.

I look forward to welcoming you in person!

Cordially,
Pastor James Klockau
