Straub, Math:
As we finish up our school year, I want to thank all of the families with whom I shared this school year. It was a year of growth and learning for us all, and I appreciate all of the support and kindness that was extended as I muddled my way through my first year here in Highland.
What a wonderful group of students we had! I hope that they have a fun-filled summer with lots of time enjoyed with family, friends, and adventures with memories that last a lifetime!
All my best!
