We had a very good school year. Rolling backwards from a fantastic graduation ceremony, we gained ground academically once again; got ahead of mental wellness, safety, and substance use action; and most importantly, we watched your children grow!
Summer 20 years ago meant I wouldn't see students again until varsity sports started in late August. With Parks and Recreation, camps, summer school, driver's education, and sports, I am sure to see many of your kids this summer at one of the schools. This is not a bad thing as long as they are also getting a chance to regroup and recharge!
You may see some unusual traffic at the high school this week. Workcamp is in town from last night through Saturday. and we are hosting about 400 multi-denominational teenagers as they go out each day into the community to repair homes for the elderly and less fortunate. Most, if not all, local businesses are also pitching in to help feed and entertain them while they are here. This is a really positive and great thing for our community, so be sure to welcome them if you see them.
I will be working all summer but will slow this blog down to about once every two weeks throughout the summer. Please accept my best wishes for a wonderful summer, and I will see you soon.
Thanks again for your continued support!
Chris
