Dear Grass Lake District #36 Students, Parents, Staff, and Community,

As we enter the vibrant month of May, I am filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation for the plethora of events and activities that will unfold within our school community. May is not just another month on the calendar; it's a time when our schools come alive with energy, creativity, and celebration.

It is with great pleasure that I extend my warmest greetings to each and every one of you. As superintendent, I am continually inspired by the dedication and passion demonstrated by our students, educators, and support staff. Together, we create a nurturing environment where learning flourishes and achievements are celebrated!!!

May is a month filled with opportunities for growth, both academically and personally. As we navigate through this busy period, let us not forget to embrace the spirit of enjoyment and appreciation for the moments shared within our school community. From sports tournaments and art exhibitions to musical performances and Project Based Learning showcases (PBL), May offers a kaleidoscope of events that enrich the educational experience for all.

In the words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." As we embark on this journey of learning and discovery, let us remember the profound impact that education has on shaping our lives and shaping the world around us.

I encourage each of you to seize the opportunities presented this month, to participate wholeheartedly in school activities, and to cherish the memories created along the way. Together, let us make May a month to remember, filled with joy, learning, and growth.

Warm regards,

William Newby Ed.D.
