In addition to welcoming our students back on the “best day of the year,” we also welcomed new faculty and staff from all three schools. During our convocation ceremony, on August 25th, I shared that it takes a village for our school to function and be successful. Every employee directly contributes to our schools being open and ready for learning. As an aside, I received this t-shirt from some Fletcher teachers while greeting students on Thursday morning. #THANKYOU

THANK YOU ALL.
Best,
Scott Thompson
