We are well into the school year and things have gone surprisingly well, particularly given the economic climate. As we go into fall, teaching and learning continue to be the primary focus of our schools. The new grade level configurations appear to be working well. And, we had great crowds at a number of events celebrating the culmination of Railer 125. Thanks to all of you who participated. We also won the Wichita Funds for Schools first competition so have a check for $1000 to start our project fund for the buildings. Each month a different deal will benefit our school district and, if it is of interest to you, please support the school district by purchasing the deal. The weather is gorgeous; fall sports continue and parent conferences are underway. First quarter ends next week. Let me know if there are specific areas you’d like me to respond to in future blogs. I’d much rather these be conversational in tone this year. Thanks!
