Tim-holiday2015Dear ESD 112 Staff,

It’s December already and as we approach a new year – my second as your Superintendent, I’m looking forward to continued success in our work together.  We’re growing because school districts are depending on us more now than ever to help them in all aspects of their day-to-operations. Families are counting on us to help prepare their young children be ready to enter school and teachers look to us for professional learning opportunities that help them be better educators and mentors. Thank you for helping to make our successes possible.

In addition to the incredible work you do each day, I continue to be impressed by your generosity. We help each other through tough times and donate to those in need. Together we collected more than 600 pounds of food for the Treasure House. Our staff donated emergency food and care items for those impacted by the fires in the Methow Valley. You have donated necessities to the homeless and have purchased so many gifts for families in need (our Giving Tree has been replenished with tags three times!) Your kindness isn’t just evident during the holidays – but all year long. Thank you.

From my family to yours – Have a memorable holiday and a Happy New Year!

-Tim
