These last 7 years have been memorable for the Hall family as together, we watched Cameron and Mason grow up in TLE, Jackson. We have been very blessed to have such wonderful teachers care for and instruct our children and prepare them to move onto Kindergarten. Ms. Jay, Ms. Lorri, Ms. Pat, Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Melinda and of course Ms. Katrina have played an integral part in the development of our children. And of course, let's not forget, Ms. Nicole who created a sense of community at TLE organizing various fund-raisers, parenting seminars, summer camp activities, class trips, graduations, the list goes on and on. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all of your patience, kindness, and most of all, the love you have so genuinely shared with our children. We consider you family and when/if given the opportunity to recommend a pre-school in Jackson without hesitation we have and will continue to recommend TLE. With Love and Gratitude, Marie and Scott Hall
