Applications must be submitted by Monday, June 16, 2014 Farewells I would like to repeat my recent article sharing Farewells with you knowing that many are busy and may have missed it last week. For those moving to new schools and new places, keep a special place in your heart for the friends made here in the ISD community. Keep in touch. Suddenly the school year reaches an end, and I find myself somewhat at a loss for words. I want to thank the board for inviting me to serve as interim director this year. Their support, advice, admonitions and direction have been most welcome as I have sought to bring the school forward across the year. I especially want to recognize our Chair, Vesna De La Borde, for her thorough and thoughtful guidance to me personally and to the board. We have worked well in partnership, board members and administrators, even as I feel that each of them in their various voluntary capacities on committees have helped us accomplish much in the strengthening and furtherance of a positive future for ISD. It has equally been a pleasure to get to know and appreciate our talented and dedicated faculty members. It has been a pleasure for my wife, Margie, and me to get to know many of you in the ISD community. You have made us feel at home and a part of this wonderful school. We’ll miss those special PTO events like the literary evening and the several dances put on by the ISD PTO band the Wowzers. Wow, this school year has flown by. In the words of an old Woody Guthrie song, I say: “So long, it’s been good to know you.”
