Liz Shuck, HMB Rotary Past President and former Superintendent started the introduction process after telling our guests about Rotary. This year we welcomed 9 new teachers, 4 psychologists, 2 counselors and 4 administrators.
Sean McPhetridge, the new Superintendent, thanked us. The District’s mission is to serve every child, every day. They couldn’t do it without the support of our community. He thanked the teachers for joining us. In response to a question about the new teachers possibly being involved with sports activities; he has new teachers establish themselves first in the classroom and then they are encouraged to get involved with sports and other activities.

Jason, welcomed the District staff and introduced the principals and administrative staff. The principals went on to introduce their new teachers. We have a new Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, new principals, new counselors and psychologists, a little over 20 in all. I am told this is typical due to turnover.
 

At least 5 of the newbies are locals who have returned after getting their credentials. One veteran teacher met a former student today, one of the new teachers! Cunha still needs a science teacher, see James Barnes, Principal. Some teachers may still be looking for housing.
 
 

In summary...we had a great turnout, the new staff members are eager to get started and excited about being here. I think they got great welcome today.
 
Thank you to the library for their new teacher gifts (a tote bag, two books and a journal).
