Hello everyone, I am so blessed and have so much to be thankful for, but today I especially want to express my sincere thanks to this community.

In 2007, I went from an almost anonymous commuter to a welcomed participant in helping define the direction of our schools.  Through it all I’ve been supported by the community, including those who see some things differently than I do, and as a team we’ve made great progress in many critical areas.

I’ve learned from you and I’m encouraged by this community’s passion and optimism about our students and our joint future.

Thank you, Vashon — thank you for allowing me to represent and serve you, it has been an honor and a pleasure.
