First Branch News!
Many thanks to all our parents, teachers and community members for coming out to support the First Branch Unified District budget. I encourage anyone with questions to reach out directly to me. I encourage community members, even without students to reach out to me. We are stronger together. There is a great quote by John Lennon, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." If the Beetles are not your style, consider the words of Loretta Lynn, "In the long run, you make your own luck - good, bad, or indifferent." The big takeaway from this week is our communities have a lot to say, and we need that passion to support schools in action. We have so many ways for the community to be involved. We invite you to join us and encourage others to do the same. Everyone has something to offer.
