Be a HERO!
A number of people gathered earlier in the year to explore possibilities for becoming involved with planning input to enhance the continuing growth and improvement of our schools. The group adopted for now a tagline of: Higher Expectations, Raised Outcomes (HERO). We would love to have the voice of special education represented at these meetings! HERO is an open process with open enrollment--if you are interested, you are welcome, invited, and encouraged to attend.
After that first getting-organized meeting, HERO is now planning a second session on Saturday, March 24. It will be held in the High School Cafeteria/Commons from 8:00-11:00 AM. There will be some coffee, juice, rolls, and fruit. * If you think you may be attending, please let us know so we can plan the breakfast.

The agenda will be conducted as a series of group discussions to address:
a. Supporting the Financial Needs of our School District--Moderated by Lorie Gieger with Bob Reed
b. Improving Academic Excellence--Moderated by Colleen Cardenuto with Jim Rouse
c. Community Support for Youth Development--Moderated by Pam Tietz with Ann Walter
d. Strengthening connections/communications within our community--Moderated by Ann Sletton with Mary Laeger-Hagemeister
