Welcome to May! We are in the last full month of the 2020 - 2021 school year, which seems crazy. Ok, things have been crazy since March 2020.  Although, I'm sure many of you think I'm crazy in general; my wife would agree.  I hope you all had a great week of vacation, you certainly earned the time to relax .

This week, there is a lot to celebrate. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, Nurses Appreciation Week starts on Thursday, and Friday we celebrate our food service workers!  There are so many individuals that make our school communities function.  Educating our students as and will always be the top priority, however, there are other things that equally important. School is often a safe haven where they can eat, be safe, and taken care of by caring adults. We are so fortunate to have so many amazing staff in this district. As return after vacation and enter the last phase of the school year, I want to make sure to stop and recognize the important celebrations this week with a few more to come in the next weeks. Over the last months, we recognized different groups on their special days or weeks. You should be thanked for your work, genuinely, on a regular basis, and I know that isn't always the case.  

Thank you all, so much, for your contributions to the success of our students.
