Susan Lopez WHOO Awardee and Celebration
Thank you all for the nomination and even more for the unexpected comments that were supported from so many of you with the nomination and the ones included in Heather Rhodes' beautiful presentation speech. It has taken me several weeks to come to grips with the accolades you all threw on me. Serving as your President has never been about awards or personal recognition. It HAS and will remain all about protecting YOUR rights as we continue providing an outstanding education to the students in the Ocean View area. I am emotionally touched by all of your words and by the presence of so many of you at the dinner.
