Subject:
9.b.2) Have You Thanked a School Board Member Lately?
Description:

Most people never wonder, let alone ask out loud, why local school board members are willing to give so much of their time and energy to their community.  Or how do they become school board trustees.

Public school board members are extraordinary people who voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing school districts;  they are a dedicated few who are elected to represent an entire community's education values.  Their actions and decisions affect the present and future lives of our children.  The beauty of public education is that its opportunities are open to everyone and it's up to those who lead the schools to ensure all students are given everything they need to achieve and succeed.  Among those leaders, school board members stand out.  Putting in long hours, these dedicated public servants strive day in and day out to preserve the dream of public education.  At a time when we face difficult choices and many changes, a commitment to education and to children must stand absolutely firm.  We have an obligation to put our children's needs first and to make the essential investments that will help them succeed in our increasingly complex society.  America's school boards help lead the way in this endeavor.  By setting high expectations for student achievement, supporting successful teaching and learning, and linking schools with their communities, trustees empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to become productive, responsible citizens.

The Crestwood School District is fortunate to have a committed and knowledgeable board of trustees.  They go above and beyond to help make sure our schools have the best administrators, staff and curriculum.  Each board member has proven time  and again how dedicated they are to the community and how loyal they are to their neighbors.  School Board Recognition Month is observed each January in Michigan.  Districts and communities across the state and nation organize activities, special events and celebrations to recognize the important contributions of their school board members.  We would like to take time this month to thank our board of education.  Thank you!
