• As we approach the Thanksgiving season, I am thankful for the opportunity to work for a community interested in and committed to its young people.  Our students are the key to our future, both locally and globally.  I'm thankful also for the professional educators who work diligently to give their students opportunities for growth.  My favorite question during this time of the year is "What if I didn't have today what I failed to give thanks for yesterday?"  An attitude of gratitude can brighten the day for so many people.  Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
• As always, if you have questions or concerns that need to be addressed, please do not hesitate to contact me.
• Sincerely,
• Joe Schwan
