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.

warmed the hearts of many senior citizens at our local nursing home.
