Marvelous Mustang Memo
for the week of September 12, 2022
Dear Mustang Family,
On behalf of our amazing staff, I would like to thank you for your support and help with our Freedom Walk event on Friday! It was such an amazing experience- my first time being involved with something so patriotic and meaningful. Dr. Mispagel said something in his opening remarks that really resonated with me. Every day when I drive through Grant Gate, I am filled with such a great feeling. It's almost hard to describe with words, but I'll try. I've always been proud to serve students, staff and families as an educator. However, there is nothing that compares to serving students, staff and families who are serving our country. I often get choked up when trying to explain it to someone who has never had any experience serving military families. When I talk with students, I'm constantly amazed at their resilience, their positive outlook, and their understanding how important it is to serve one's country. I am simply in awe. I really have the very best job in the world!
Thank you, MacArthur Families!
Have a wonderful week,
Amie Lawless
