Honoring School Director Recognition Month |
In honor of the school board's commitment to our students, schools and communities, January is once again designated School Director Recognition Month.
School directors, who are unpaid, devote countless hours to the challenging and complex responsibilities of board business, including adopting policy, voting on budgets, evaluating school security issues and reviewing hiring decisions. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic has added an additional challenge to school boards, as they determine how best to provide for the needs of students and their families in this new environment.
Mr. Ed Case, Mr. Brad Hart, Ms. Lupe Kasper, Dr. Amy Kennedy, Ms. Steph Kocher, Mr. Mike Martin, Mr. Sean McCrae, Mr. Jay Nigrini and Mr. Bob Schneider are among the more than 850 school board members in the state’s 171 local school districts being recognized this month for their service.
We would like to publicly thank these locally elected officials for their over 48 years of combined service to our community!
(Please note the board photo was taken in January, 2020.)

It’s that time of year again…time to show our appreciation and support to the men and women who fought to preserve the freedom that we all enjoy every day!
Please join us in participating in the Valentines for Vets Community Service Activity! Your efforts truly make such an impact. The valentines are collected and distributed to veterans who have served to protect the freedom we all enjoy and hold so dear. It sends a message of pride and goodwill to the men and women of our country who have given so much of themselves for our country and for our benefit! Thank you, in advance, for your participation.
You can participate by sending valentines designed, decorated, and written by kids!!!! The more the better! The Veterans’ hospitals have also requested that glitter, sequins, etc., are used sparingly to decorate your valentines. Valentines in all languages are appreciated!
In order for the project to be successful, we will need them by Friday, February 5th, so that they can be sorted, quarantined, and delivered in time for Valentine’s Day. If you would like your class or organization to participate, please send valentines to me, Krista Steffy, at Cornwall Terrace. Please email me with any questions at stekri@share.wilsonsd.org.
