Here’s what’s up for the week of September 5, 2006:
 

 1.

Welcome Back -

 

On behalf of the Board of Education, I would like to once again, wish all of our employees a great year. I hope you all had a restful weekend. Now it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get down to what we do best, working with and for our students. Remember, everyone makes a difference in the lives of our students.

Special Thanks–

Thank you to the business office for all their hard work this year with payroll, accounts payable and general business. Also, our auditors always give our organization rave reviews on how well organized and prepared we are when they come in to do our annual audit.  A lot of work goes into preparing for the audit and I commend the business office for their dedication.
     

 3.

Opening Day Survey –

Please watch your e-mail as we will forward to our staff a survey regarding your thoughts on “Opening Day” activities. Your ideas and input are always helpful in planning for future events.
     

 4.

United Way –

Once again, United Way will begin its annual fundraising drive. If you have contributed in the past, I thank you. If you have not been able to give previously, I would challenge you to consider giving this year.  United Way of Bay County really does help many of our families and friends in need. More information will be coming soon!
