Off to a Great Start!

I just wanted to thank and congratulate you for all your hard work the last two days. You are a hardworking, dedicated and enthusiastic team of teachers, and I consider myself fortunate to have been assigned to your school. The essential question you have developed is both broad enough to encompass your many varied subject areas, yet narrow enough to allow students to remain focused. I look forward to my next visit and am eager to see the many varied directions in which each of your classes will take the project. See you in October!
