Mark Johnson: Grateful for Commitments as School Starts Tuesday

Mark Johnson: Grateful for Commitments as School Starts Tuesday
NV Media

Good morning Nooksack Valley!  This Monday morning, I'm reflecting on how grateful I am for all of our staff during this time and always.  They have worked tirelessly to prepare for Tuesday and beyond.  All of them, individually and together, have used heads and hearts so that we can be our very best for our children and families.  I am also so thankful for our families, for their patience, grace, and flexibility.  Our individual and collective love of our children and grandchildren we cause us all to be our most effective on their behalf.

Spoiler alert:  Tuesday will not be perfect.  While we will strive for perfection, perfection is really unattainable.  There is just too much complexity and too many variables for it to be any other way.  Let's face it, we don't reach perfection even in "normal" times.  What we will do is launch, learn and adjust.  We will be better on Wednesday than we were on Tuesday, and better Thursday than Wednesday.  We are committed to be our best for our community.

Looking forward to the launch of the 2020 school year ... with all of you!

So very grateful,

Mark
