Enjoy the Break

So here we are on the last day before Spring Break.  It would seem that all are ready for the short respite as it has been busy and intense.  My thanks and kudos to all staff as they continue to do a great job even in the face of difficult times in public education.  I hope that you all have a restful break and re-energize for the return and final race to graduation.

Representative of the great work that our folks are doing is the recognition notice that we received yesterday that John F Kennedy Elementary has been recognized as a California Distinguished School for 2012.  Congratulations to staff, parents, leadership, and students that made that happen.

I should also note that our mascot has been making the rounds with his new name (was named through a student contest).  He will complete his tour of the winners (for naming) this morning at Jefferson.  His name is Rus D. Owl.

Again, best wishes to all for a restful week of R&R next week. 

Best regards,
Rick
