Here’s what’s up for the week of April 14, 2008:
 
 
1. Enjoy the Weather – I hope everyone had the opportunity to get outside this weekend. Maybe, just maybe, spring has arrived!
2. Board Meeting Budget Presentation – Over the next month, Bruce Curtiss and I will be presenting our 2008-2009 ISD budget to our local school districts. Each of our LEAs must see our budget before our Board can approve it.
3. Good News – Don’t forget to pass along good news. If you have something to share, give us a call.
4. Quote – "The smallest good deed is better than the grandest good intention." ~ Duguet
5. Baby News – Jill Boon (speech therapist) and her husband, Ryan brought a baby girl into the world on April 4th at 1:02 p.m. Lauren Kathleen Boon weighed 7 pounds and was 18 inches long. Everyone is home and doing great! Congratulations to the Boon family!
