  • May 9, 2012 Thanks To All Our Educators
    This year, more than any in recent years, I want to thank each of our teachers for your ongoing commitment to our students and their hopes and dreams.

    While so many forces seem to be working against us, you continue to keep your eye on the prize - our children. As tireless, relentless and tenacious advocates for our children, you continue to inspire and provide hope for so many.
