Superintendent Message:

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Thank you,Scot [email protected]

South and West Washtenaw Consortium (SWWC) Career and Technical education programs prepare the students for a broad range of employment and training services and are offered under the guidance of certified teachers, counselors, cooperative education and special population coordinators. The student’s selection of a career and technical education course in no way would prevent him or her from furthering their education beyond high school. The courses are full-year courses, open primarily to juniors and seniors. Interested students must complete an application form that can be acquired from the counselor or the South and West Washtenaw Consortium office. Additional program materials are available in the guidance office or from the instructors.

It is the policy of the South and West Washtenaw Consortium not to discriminate on the basis of race, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, disability, height, weight, language or marital status in any of it’s programs, activities or employment. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language proficiency is not a barrier to admission or participation.

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Superintendent Message:

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Thank you,Scot [email protected]

The courses are full-year courses, open primarily to juniors and seniors. Interested students must complete an application form that can be acquired from the counselor or the South and West Washtenaw Consortium office. Additional program materials are available in the guidance office or from the instructors.

Harvest Elementary – SeptemberWelcome to our Harvest families! We are excited to be starting the 2013-2014 school year with you. A couple of reminders for the start of the year…1. For the safety of all students, we ask that you say goodbye at the front entrance of the school. By reducing hallway

traffic in the morning to only students and staff we can better ensure the safety of all of our children.2. Students should not be dropped off before the 8:35 each morning. 3. If you are dropping your child off at school, please remember the drop off loop is a 7-second drop-off; children should exit the vehicle ONLY on the curbside of the loop.4. There is no parking in the drop-off loop5. The drop-off loop is a very busy place each morning, if your child has a project or several items to carry in please consider parking and walking your child to the sidewalk where they can safely walk to the front door

We have had several changes to our staff for this fall. We would like to welcome the following teachers:

• Emily Sickler – 1st Grade, moved from Heritage 5th grade• Mary Ellen Moyski – 2nd Grade, moved from Saline Middle School 8th • Nicole Toth – 3rd Grade, new Saline Area Schools teacher• Erica Peplinski – Spanish, moved from Saline Middle School Spanish• Savonne Porzondek – Special Education Resource Room, new Saline Area Schools teacherOther changes to within our teaching faculty:• Jennifer Stripp moved to Kindergarten from 2nd Grade• Jennifer Edwards moved to 1st Grade from 2nd Grade• Anne Callison moved to 2nd Grade from Quest• Marcie Klump is our Intervention Coordinator from 2nd GradeWe are looking forward to a great school year with all of you!

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Thank you,Scot [email protected]

traffic in the morning to only students and staff we can better ensure the safety of all of our children.2. Students should not be dropped off before the 8:35 each morning. 3. If you are dropping your child off at school, please remember the drop off loop is a 7-second drop-off; children should exit the vehicle ONLY on the curbside of the loop.4. There is no parking in the drop-off loop5. The drop-off loop is a very busy place each morning, if your child has a project or several items to carry in please consider parking and walking your child to the sidewalk where they can safely walk to the front door

We have had several changes to our staff for this fall. We would like to welcome the following teachers:

• Emily Sickler – 1st Grade, moved from Heritage 5th grade• Mary Ellen Moyski – 2nd Grade, moved from Saline Middle School 8th • Nicole Toth – 3rd Grade, new Saline Area Schools teacher• Erica Peplinski – Spanish, moved from Saline Middle School Spanish• Savonne Porzondek – Special Education Resource Room, new Saline Area Schools teacherOther changes to within our teaching faculty:• Jennifer Stripp moved to Kindergarten from 2nd Grade• Jennifer Edwards moved to 1st Grade from 2nd Grade• Anne Callison moved to 2nd Grade from Quest• Marcie Klump is our Intervention Coordinator from 2nd GradeWe are looking forward to a great school year with all of you!

Mom2Mom Consignment SaleThis will be the 6th sale held at Liberty School in Saline, which is organized and directed by local Saline Resident and mother of two, Teresa Ferenczy. This sale is held twice a year in the spring and fall and is a huge draw for sellers and buyers alike. This is not your typical mom to mom sale where buyers stop by individual tables and owners sit and sell their items. This sale is different in that it makes it very easy for shoppers and buyers by having the sale run in a “department” style. Sellers drop off their items on Friday, September 20 between 3-6pm and the staff and volunteers of the sale sort and organize all the clothing by gender and size in one large room. There is a separate room for toys and large items as well as so many other items like books, baby gear, maternity, etc..The sale is on Saturday from 9-2. Entry fee is $1.00 for adults, from 9-noon and then from noon-2:00, everyone is free. After the sale sellers can pick up their unsold items or have them donated to a local organization. They will receive check within 10 days for their items sold. This sale is growing and growing every year. Due to space, there are only a limited amount of sellers at each sale. As for shoppers....get there early on Saturday for all the best deals. Lots of treasures to be found.What: Mom2Mom Consignment SaleWhere: Liberty School, 7265 N.

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Mom2Mom Consignment SaleThis will be the 6th sale held at Liberty School in Saline, which is organized and directed by local Saline Resident and mother of two, Teresa Ferenczy. This sale is held twice a year in the spring and fall and is a huge draw for sellers and buyers alike. This is not your typical mom to mom sale where buyers stop by individual tables and owners sit and sell their items. This sale is different in that it makes it very easy for shoppers and buyers by having the sale run in a “department” style. Sellers drop off their items on Friday, September 20 between 3-6pm and the staff and volunteers of the sale sort and organize all the clothing by gender and size in one large room. There is a separate room for toys and large items as well as so many other items like books, baby gear, maternity, etc..The sale is on Saturday from 9-2. Entry fee is $1.00 for adults, from 9-noon and then from noon-2:00, everyone is free. After the sale sellers can pick up their unsold items or have them donated to a local organization. They will receive check within 10 days for their items sold. This sale is growing and growing every year. Due to space, there are only a limited amount of sellers at each sale. As for shoppers....get there early on Saturday for all the best deals. Lots of treasures to be found.What: Mom2Mom Consignment SaleWhere: Liberty School, 7265 N.

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

South and West Washtenaw Consortium (SWWC) Career and Technical education programs prepare the students for a broad range of employment and training services and are offered under the guidance of certified teachers, counselors, cooperative education and special population coordinators. The student’s selection of a career and technical education course in no way would prevent him or her from furthering their education beyond high school. The courses are full-year courses, open primarily to juniors and seniors. Interested students must complete an application form that can be acquired from the counselor or the South and West Washtenaw Consortium office. Additional program materials are available in the guidance office or from the instructors.

It is the policy of the South and West Washtenaw Consortium not to discriminate on the basis of race, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, disability, height, weight, language or marital status in any of it’s programs, activities or employment. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language proficiency is not a barrier to admission or participation.

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Thank you,Scot [email protected]

South and West Washtenaw Consortium (SWWC) Career and Technical education programs prepare the students for a broad range of employment and training services and are offered under the guidance of certified teachers, counselors, cooperative education and special population coordinators. The student’s selection of a career and technical education course in no way would prevent him or her from furthering their education beyond high school. The courses are full-year courses, open primarily to juniors and seniors. Interested students must complete an application form that can be acquired from the counselor or the South and West Washtenaw Consortium office. Additional program materials are available in the guidance office or from the instructors.

It is the policy of the South and West Washtenaw Consortium not to discriminate on the basis of race, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, disability, height, weight, language or marital status in any of it’s programs, activities or employment. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language proficiency is not a barrier to admission or participation.

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

South and West Washtenaw Consortium (SWWC) Career and Technical education programs prepare the students for a broad range of employment and training services and are offered under the guidance of certified teachers, counselors, cooperative education and special population coordinators. The student’s selection of a career and technical education course in no way would prevent him or her from furthering their education beyond high school. The courses are full-year courses, open primarily to juniors and seniors. Interested students must complete an application form that can be acquired from the counselor or the South and West Washtenaw Consortium office. Additional program materials are available in the guidance office or from the instructors.

It is the policy of the South and West Washtenaw Consortium not to discriminate on the basis of race, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, disability, height, weight, language or marital status in any of it’s programs, activities or employment. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language proficiency is not a barrier to admission or participation.

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

South and West Washtenaw Consortium (SWWC) Career and Technical education programs prepare the students for a broad range of employment and training services and are offered under the guidance of certified teachers, counselors, cooperative education and special population coordinators. The student’s selection of a career and technical education course in no way would prevent him or her from furthering their education beyond high school. The courses are full-year courses, open primarily to juniors and seniors. Interested students must complete an application form that can be acquired from the counselor or the South and West Washtenaw Consortium office. Additional program materials are available in the guidance office or from the instructors.

It is the policy of the South and West Washtenaw Consortium not to discriminate on the basis of race, age, religion, national origin or ancestry, sex, disability, height, weight, language or marital status in any of it’s programs, activities or employment. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language proficiency is not a barrier to admission or participation.

Superintendent Message:

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Thank you,Scot [email protected]

Interested students must complete an application form that can be acquired from the counselor or the South and West Washtenaw Consortium office. Additional program materials are available in the guidance office or from the instructors.

Superintendent Message:

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Thank you,Scot [email protected]

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.

Thank you,Scot [email protected]

Mr. Peter Laugen Joins Washtenaw Christian Academy Pete Laugen, from Scottsdale Christian Academy in Arizona, has joined WCA and brings his extraordinary experience to the Midwest.

Washtenaw Christian Academy is happy to announce that Mr. Peter Laugen has happily accepted their offer to join the WCA family as the new Head of School/High School Principal.

Pete has extensive experience in secondary academic settings; he’s joked on several occasions that he’s served in every role from substitute teacher to Head of School in his career! After receiving his B.A. from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Pete secured his first teaching position at Mountain Sky Junior High in Scottsdale Arizona where he was responsible for P.E., Spanish, Language Arts, and Computers classes. His heart for discipline through restoration quickly propelled him in the role of Student Services Advisor. In 2008, God moved Pete towards Christian education in the form of an Assistant Principal position at Scottsdale Christian Academy in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2010, he began the Middle School Principal and in June 2012 he accepted the temporary position as Scottsdale Christian’s Interim Superintendent.

Pete is an enthusiastic and busy guy; he completed his M.A. in Education Administration from Grand Canyon University in 2009, and loves to coach football. He’s been rumored to often be found behind the announcer’s microphone at school basketball games! He and his wife Stefanie have two lovely young daughters.

For more information about WCA, call us today at 734.429.7733. WCA looks forward to investing in your child’s future and helping them exceed your expectations!

Student Wins Silver Medal in Welding and Best in Nation

At the International WorldSkills Competition

August 19, 2013, Leesburg, Va. – Alex Pazkowski of Saline, Michigan and a student at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan represented the United States in Leipzig, Germany during the biennial WorldSkills Competition and won a Silver Medal in the Welding competition. Pazkowski, competing as a member of the United States “WorldTeam” also won “Best in Nation.” The 42nd international event was held July 2-7, 2013.

Pazkowski credits his instructor, Dave Jodway at Saline High School in Saline, Michigan, with laying the foundation for his love and passion for welding. “I had the pleasure of being Alex Pazkowski’s welding instructor from 2007 to 2009,” said Dave Jodway. “Alex was extremely motivated and had an extremely high aptitude for learning the craft of welding and he was the most dedicated and hard-working student I’ve ever had the pleasure of instructing.”

Pazkowski has excelled at the welding and fabrication program at Washtenaw Community College. When asked about his skills and motivation, Pazkowski’s advisor, Glenn Kay, said, “Anyone that comes in contact with Alex can see that he is not only a very talented and skilled individual but also committed, driven and an all-round exceptional young professional. He strives for perfection, which is not easily attained, and that fact is what challenges Alex every day to be his absolute best.” For more information about the competition, go to: http://www.worldskills.org or http://www.worldskillsleipzig2013.com.

Keep Saline Aglow!You can help keep Saline’s trees glowing! Do you love to see the twinkling lights on the trees lining our snow-blanketed streets in winter? They bring cheer to Downtown Saline all season long. More than 50 of our 78 lighted trees are now in urgent need of trimming. To make it happen, we have removed the lights from the trees this spring, and we hope to replace the lights in fall. It’s a big task requiring us to hire professionals. The cost is estimated to be $55,000. Financial support – from people like you – will be needed.

How can you help? Here are some options:·Make a major donation. The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce pledges up to $10,000 as a matching donation for any foundation, group, or individual who contributes to this cause.·Sponsor a tree for a year. A plaque on the tree will recognize your support.·Give what you can. Your donation, large or small, will be tax-deductible.·You can also encourage others you know to donate. The Chamber will appreciate your work on our behalf.

Mr. Peter Laugen Joins Washtenaw Christian Academy Pete Laugen, from Scottsdale Christian Academy in Arizona, has joined WCA and brings his extraordinary experience to the Midwest.

Washtenaw Christian Academy is happy to announce that Mr. Peter Laugen has happily accepted their offer to join the WCA family as the new Head of School/High School Principal.

Pete has extensive experience in secondary academic settings; he’s joked on several occasions that he’s served in every role from substitute teacher to Head of School in his career! After receiving his B.A. from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Pete secured his first teaching position at Mountain Sky Junior High in Scottsdale Arizona where he was responsible for P.E., Spanish, Language Arts, and Computers classes. His heart for discipline through restoration quickly propelled him in the role of Student Services Advisor. In 2008, God moved Pete towards Christian education in the form of an Assistant Principal position at Scottsdale Christian Academy in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2010, he began the Middle School Principal and in June 2012 he accepted the temporary position as Scottsdale Christian’s Interim Superintendent.

Pete is an enthusiastic and busy guy; he completed his M.A. in Education Administration from Grand Canyon University in 2009, and loves to coach football. He’s been rumored to often be found behind the announcer’s microphone at school basketball games! He and his wife Stefanie have two lovely young daughters.

For more information about WCA, call us today at 734.429.7733. WCA looks forward to investing in your child’s future and helping them exceed your expectations!

Student Wins Silver Medal in Welding and Best in Nation

At the International WorldSkills Competition

August 19, 2013, Leesburg, Va. – Alex Pazkowski of Saline, Michigan and a student at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan represented the United States in Leipzig, Germany during the biennial WorldSkills Competition and won a Silver Medal in the Welding competition. Pazkowski, competing as a member of the United States “WorldTeam” also won “Best in Nation.” The 42nd international event was held July 2-7, 2013.

Pazkowski credits his instructor, Dave Jodway at Saline High School in Saline, Michigan, with laying the foundation for his love and passion for welding. “I had the pleasure of being Alex Pazkowski’s welding instructor from 2007 to 2009,” said Dave Jodway. “Alex was extremely motivated and had an extremely high aptitude for learning the craft of welding and he was the most dedicated and hard-working student I’ve ever had the pleasure of instructing.”

Pazkowski has excelled at the welding and fabrication program at Washtenaw Community College. When asked about his skills and motivation, Pazkowski’s advisor, Glenn Kay, said, “Anyone that comes in contact with Alex can see that he is not only a very talented and skilled individual but also committed, driven and an all-round exceptional young professional. He strives for perfection, which is not easily attained, and that fact is what challenges Alex every day to be his absolute best.” For more information about the competition, go to: http://www.worldskills.org or http://www.worldskillsleipzig2013.com.

Saline Area Chamber of Commerce

Keep Saline Aglow!You can help keep Saline’s trees glowing! Do you love to see the twinkling lights on the trees lining our snow-blanketed streets in winter? They bring cheer to Downtown Saline all season long. More than 50 of our 78 lighted trees are now in urgent need of trimming. To make it happen, we have removed the lights from the trees this spring, and we hope to replace the lights in fall. It’s a big task requiring us to hire professionals. The cost is estimated to be $55,000. Financial support – from people like you – will be needed.

How can you help? Here are some options:·Make a major donation. The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce pledges up to $10,000 as a matching donation for any foundation, group, or individual who contributes to this cause.·Sponsor a tree for a year. A plaque on the tree will recognize your support.·Give what you can. Your donation, large or small, will be tax-deductible.·You can also encourage others you know to donate. The Chamber will appreciate your work on our behalf.

Superintendent Message:

As we kick-off the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to schedule another “Community Conversation” meeting. Over the last five years I have had the opportunity to host several “Community Conversation” events to learn more about what interested community members see as the strengths of Saline Area Schools, and what areas they felt we needed to focus attention on for improvement. Through these conversations and other opportunities, I have learned a great deal about how many of you see our district and it has helped guide me, along with the Board of Education, as we move forward.

In an effort to continue this dialogue, I will be making time available on Tuesday, September 17th from 9:30am- 11:00am at My Favorite Cafe, 101 S. Ann Arbor Street. Please stop by, say hello and bring any thoughts about the district you feel I should know.
