A grateful heart
...Jayne, Andrea and Megan for organizing our Pokeno afternoon. A fun time was had by all!
...Everyone who showed up to help on Friday afternoon. We had so many volunteers that we really were done by 3:15!
...Mentor teachers who are showing the next generation of teachers how to learn and grow in their profession. Mentor teachers who also know when student teachers aren't quite ready and work with them over and over to help them improve.
...Rion Wahkapeche, who has blended in as if he'd been here for years. Not only doing typical librarian stuff, but working with classes on developing their love for poetry and helping with furniture rearrangement.
...increased collaboration between ASPIRE and non-ASPIRE teachers. Christina Hayes taught Leigh's class Thursday afternoon so Leigh could go to the district Spelling Bee.

FIRST committee
The big items at this point are: needed maintenance (about 80M for mechanical, electrical and HVAC); a new Cannon Elementary; updated technology; furniture to more closely reflect the tenets of LEAD 2021; and Multi Purpose Activity Centers that would be located at each high school.These MACS would not be dedicated to just athletics, but would provide additional practice space for athletics and band groups, especially when the weather is too extreme for them to practice outdoors.
One of the most important things you can do right now is be sure you are registered to vote. Whether you support the bond package or not, you need to be a model for your students and your own children of being engaged in the political process. I know it's sometimes hard to sort out all the noise and determine the best choice, but your participation does matter. We had a critical election in Bedford about 10 years ago that was decided by 10 votes. 10 votes! It caused major fallout, including the resignation of the mayor and the shutdown of some city services. Please don't decide not to vote.
