March 20

Thanks for your support and help with making the governor's visit a success. He was very impressed with our students, the school, and the work on the heating system. (Way to go, Brian!) I'm sorry that you couldn't all come with us on the mini tour of the boiler room, but if you had, you would have been proud of our students. In total, the event was another bit of evidence of how the hard and thoughtful work and instruction you do with students is noticeable and appreciated. Thanks!

Speaking of noticeable....the number of students at town meeting day was awesome. We had students helping in numerous ways and others simply came to participate. I was very thankful to see our students taking leadership and providing service in very respectful and thoughtful ways. And, thanks to the many teachers who showed up to represent our school (and your wonderful little town).
