From the Desk of Dr. Dubec... 

It is hard to believe that  we are busy making plans for the holidays, and 2009 is already coming to a close.  I am very proud of how much our  students, staff, and parent volunteers have accomplished together this year -- from academic achievements, to successful fundraising efforts.

 Over the past few weeks, we have been treated to many holiday presentations, concerts, parties, and events.  I am always impressed by how dedicated our staff is to the success of our students, and it truly shows on their young faces when they perform.  Although times have been difficult for many this year, when we teach our children to help others, as shown by the food drives, and clothing drives our schools have sponsored, we all benefit.
 
My wish for everyone is a safe and happy holiday season, and that all return to school in January with renewed enthusiasm.  I look forward to many events in 2010 with our staff and students.

Sincerely,
Dr. Joseph Dubec, Ed.D., J.D.
Superintendent of Schools
