It is a happy time.  It is a sad time.  The end of the school year brings such mixed emotions as our kids prepare to leave for the year and our 5^th graders move on to the middle school.  Most of these kiddos have been in my life/family since entering school as kindergarteners.  I honestly will miss them all!

It has been a great year.  I feel very good about what our kids have achieved.  Our high stakes testing results are up again as they are consistently.  Kids’ attitudes have been very positive and easy to work with.

I can’t say enough about the incredible book the entire student body completed as they wrote the 60+ Ways Mount Hall Appreciates Mr. Nash for my 60^th birthday.  It was the best gift ever and has been a source of many snickers and tears as I shared it  with my wife and daughter.  This gift I will cherish forever.  Thank you Mount Hall students and staff.  This is a good example of my vision about our school being a BIG  FAMILY.

Great things are in the plans for next year, a year where we will see full grade-level teachers, some additions to our instructional assistants, the return of more migrant students, a growing school population and some prep time for our teachers. 

Have a GREAT and safe summer.
