Tom reported that even though school was in session, we had an extremely cooperative construction team working around the everyday routines of the students. Thanks Tom and your team for a job well done. During the first full week of November, our district sponsored Council Rock Education Week. During that week, we invited parents to visit our schools to see the quality of the education process that occurs each day. During that week, we welcomed over 4500 visitors. In addition, each school offered workshops on topics such as PSSA testing, technology and reading strategies. I offer my thanks to parents and teachers for their collaboration during this week and over the course of the school year. As we move forward in reorganization tonight, I offer a sincere welcome to Mr. Donnelly as he assumes his seat on the Board of School Directors. I offer my congratulations to Mrs. Heenan, Dr. Anagnostakos and Mrs. Vicedomini on their reelection to the Board. And, as always, I speak on behalf of our staff in thanking each member of the board for their selfless service to Council Rock.
