“Her job was her world. She lived to teach. Even though she was never a mother, she had hundreds of children!”

Dear Celina Schools Families & Community,
It is with heavy hearts that we must share somber news and regret to inform you of the passing of our long-time Celina Primary School music teacher, Ms. Stuckey. Ms. Stuckey had been ill last school year, but courageously fought back and returned to school this year. She was teaching at the Primary School just days ago. Unfortunately, her health declined. We understand the immense difficulty of this time, both for the Stuckey family and for all of us connected to her at school. We recognize that there are no easy answers to the questions that may arise from this, but we are prepared to support our students as needed. If you believe your child would benefit from speaking with someone individually, please do not hesitate to contact the school, and we will make the necessary arrangements. Please join us and the Celina School Community in keeping the Stuckey family in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
