JAKE'S TAKE ON TECHNOLOGY
Jake Ragusa - Instructional Technology Coordinator |

We are nearing the end of the first half of the
school year. A great deal of work has been accomplished, but
there is so much left to do. Since we have just celebrated Thanksgiving,
let me offer thanks to some of those who have been such a great
help this year. For their support, I want to thank Mr. Virgil
Allen, Mrs. Marj Morgan, Dr. Beth Moulds, Robert Morgan, Vicki
Allen, all the principals and the Title I staff. I would also
like to thank Vicki Blackwell, Linda Whitworth, Scott Diepenbrock,
and Carl Head for being a joy to work with. Most importantly,
I want to thank the teachers who have responded so enthusiastically.
I was extremely pleased with the number and quality of the teacher
grant applications submitted. I expect many of our students to
benefit from these extra efforts by their teachers. Lastly, I
thank God for the real reason for this season --his son, Jesus.
I hope and pray that our efforts to help His children will ultimately
be successful. |
