November

November is a time for many changes, not only with the weather but in education as well. In November, parents are provided the opportunity to meet at conferences, teachers are preparing report cards, sports teams are beginning or concluding their seasons, and the community has elected one incumbent and several new school board directors.
Many thanks to those who have ended their service on the Board; Eric Rummel, Ron Mastrine, Joe Stephan, and Eric Hicks. Your long hours of dedication and service to the Central Cambria School District are both noteworthy and appreciated. I have enjoyed working with you and will miss your insight and knowledge.
Congratulations to our incoming Board members: Rose Marie Sedosky, Dennis Simmers, Don Cessna, and Marcia Shaheen. I look forward to working with each of you as we address the many issues facing our district. I commend each of you for your willingness to serve the students and community as school directors.
Finally, I wish everyone in the CCSD community a safe, healthy and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday. For my part, Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year: without the frenzy of holiday shopping, my family and I spend time together enjoying memories and making new ones. Who could ask for more: loved ones near ( a new grandson!), a terrific feast - and football! Let us all be thankful for time spent with our families as we share this great holiday. Stay safe!
