From Dr. Stephanie Nehus: 

"I hope you all are headed home with relaxing plans to enjoy and celebrate your families and friends over Thanksgiving Break. I promise you - every night, and especially during Thanksgiving as I have the honor of sharing what I am most thankful for with my family - I give thanks for those who make a difference in the lives of our children and therefore, our future. I am so very thankful for you educators and you professionals who support educators and the education industry in your career. 

I also want to share that I am thankful to be a professional in this industry. I know that you all may question yourselves at times for choosing this profession, especially when you are as exhausted as I know you all are. But- I’m sure we have in common - I know you lay your head on your pillow at night knowing you’ve made a difference in the life of a child. There’s no greater hero than that, my friends. You are all heroes. And I’m thankful to be in a profession where I know - and we can know - we are making a difference, and we are fighting a fight that is worth every bit of our blood, sweat, and tears. 

I am so very thankful for all of you and the tremendous jobs you do for our district and for our kids. Have a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving Break. THANK YOU!!"
