Spring Fling

Congratulations to our May Family of the Month

Jennifer and Brad Poindexter have three children (Caroline 12, William 8, and Tanner 4) that have attended Primrose at Westerre Commons over the past 11 years. Their daughter Caroline started in the Young Toddler room shortly after Primrose Westerre Commons opened. They have a long history with Primrose as Jennifer attended the first Primrose School in Marietta, GA in the 1980’s when she was a child. Jennifer and Brad are very grateful for the wonderful teachers that have taught their children at Westerre Commons. They feel that Primrose has prepared each child for success in elementary school and in life because of the academic skills, the character, and the confidence they instill. Several special teachers have taught all three children! They will miss the Primrose community next year, when their youngest child Tanner goes to Kindergarten. In their free time the Poindexters enjoy traveling, being outside, playing putt-putt and shooting basketball hoops.
