Dear Editor:
I would like to express my appreciation to the community of Van Horn for all the support and friendship that has been extended to me during the past 25 years that I have resided in Culberson County.
It is a bittersweet time for me as I take a temporary leave from West Texas to become a caregiver for my mother in Northwest Missouri.
My time as a teacher at Culberson County Allamoore ISD has been a wonderful experience and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve.
I am honored to have been selected as the secondary teacher of the year in our district. Thanks to everyone who voted for me! There are so many special things about living in Van Horn.
Words alone cannot describe the unique advantages that our community possesses. Even though I am leaving, I plan to return.
Sincerely,
Joy Scott
