January is School Board Recognition Month

Welcome back students and staff!

Each January, we pause to express our appreciation for a very special group of volunteers: the school board members.  Usually, we don’t think of school board members as school volunteers, but they do in fact volunteer to serve.

School board members give their time, energy, and counsel to the school district—without pay. They take on the job of governing the district—making the best decisions they can for our children—with the full understanding that they will receive only the satisfaction of their contribution.

The men and women who make the time to generously provide this important public service do so because they care. They care about their own children’s education. They care about the schools being the best they can be.  They care about the next generation and the future of the community and the state.  Board service is truly “a work of heart.”

Join with me in celebrating School Board Recognition Month in January, and take a moment to express your appreciation for the volunteer efforts of school board members. Our district benefits greatly from their service.
