Notes From the Chairperson from SCC

June 2007

Well we seemed to have made it through the inaugural year of our SCC term and are still all here to talk about it. It has been an eye-opening year for all of us, to say the least!
There have been many new policies that we have had to become familiar with. There were constitutions, mission statements, school profiles, election of officers and many other things that needed to be done in the first year as a SCC.
We have had great participation from our members in working through all the issues required by Horizon S.D.
I would like to thank all of our members, Darren Yungmann, Gerard Doepker, Jim Junk, Sheri Ulrich, Connie Bley, our staff rep Phylis Vanderlinde, our student reps Bailie P. and Karleen C. and our school leader Brian Fleischhacker.
We would like to thank Bailie for her work and good luck with graduation and your choice to attend SIAST in the Youth Care Worker program. Your input has been appreciated.

I would personally like to thank Brian for his help with our first year and also in his first year as principal. He has done an amazing job in keeping things together while at the same time keeping everyone very POSITIVE. I am sure this has not been an easy task and for that once again THANKS.

To the staff of Annaheim School, excellent job!! I am sure the students all appreciated the work you have done this year (although they may not actually say it in those words!)

A special thanks from myself and the council to Karen Ramler, our school scretary, who has kept all the lines of communication flowing in both directions, thanks Karen.

We are looking forward to many new things in the 2007/08 school year.
* Our council may need a new member or two, so if you are interested watch out for that.
* Our new website. The minutes from the meetings and any new notices or events will also be listed. All policies and the constitution are on as well.
* We will be welcoming some new families to our school and community, very exciting!

So have a great summer, enjoy the hot weather, get lots of R & R...

Steve Patton
