As the summer finally has arrived, so too will it come to an end! Schools starts on August 31st, leaving two short weeks for us to prepare to greet the students. Steps have already been placed to start this process. Last week, the Kindergarten Academy was held at the Ellis School. it was great to see the eager 5 years olds getting acclimated to their new school environment. Many of them couldn't wait to tell me about their two day expereince!

The teachers return on August 26th, allowing for them to work with the principals to prepare for the new year. In talking with Ms. Lewis and Mr. Safina, I am confident that this will be a smooth start to a successful year.

I look forward to the return of the youngsters in Fremont!

Yours,

Bill Lander
