Community Conversations
December 2022
This holiday season is a time to reflect and give thanks to the special people in each of our lives - our family, friends, teachers, emergency responders and so many more.
I want to say thank you to our families for their commitment and dedication to our school community, for volunteering and for supporting their children in their studies and career pathway. Your continual support makes our Methacton Schools exceptional places to learn, lead and exceed.
May these holidays be a time of recreation and relaxation, so very important as we prepared to capture the opportunities before us in the new year.
ENJOY!
