Editor:

It is with much pride that I am sending this Letter to the Editor, publicly expressing my gratitude and gratefulness for a job well done by the staff at Union Intermediate School on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016.

We had many hurdles to cross, some expected and some not, and the entire staff at Union Intermediate School came together, knowing what needed to be done to ensure success and accomplished just that — Success!

As I reflect on how thing should have worked, it could not have be3en scripted any better. The instances of staff taking ownership and getting the job done are too numerous to detail, but let there be no doubt that they have been noticed and appreciated.

I do not have the resources to compensate them what they deserve, however, I want them to know that I am blessed to be working with such a great team.
