FROM THE DIRECTOR

The votes are in…Congratulations to Kim Bruce, Mara’D Jahde and Michael Sparks, our newly elected OC members, and ‘Thank You’ to all parents and staff who took the time to vote on Tuesday. The race was close, with all four candidates receiving strong support.

The new OC members jumped right into their roles by attending their first official meeting last night. All newly elected OC members attend the last two meetings of the year as observers, and then shift into their ‘full role’ at our summer work session in June.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank three of our outgoing OC members who have served diligently over the past year or two: Scott Thomas was heavily involved in our contract negotiation with the district last year, and both Scott and Sonya Gillen (along with the rest of the OC) were instrumental in getting our Field of Dreams project off the ground. Mike Mullane joined us last year and offered his expertise as a CPA and auditor. Unfortunately, Mike is stepping down at the end of this year, but Pat Redalen (former OC President) has agreed to fulfill the last year of Mike’s two-year term…Welcome Back, Pat!

OC meetings are always open to all parents and staff. Monthly meeting times, dates and agendas are posted on the bulletin board to your left as you enter the front doors of our school. If you haven’t attended a meeting, I encourage you to join us at your convenience. It’s a great way to stay connect with what’s happening around the school.
