It is that time of year when we think often about all we
have to be thankful for. A few things that have been on my mind recently give
me cause for gratitude:
- Peaceful transfer of power. Our country is coming off a very contentious presidential election, and your preferred candidate may or may not have won. But the beauty of our country is that, throughout 240 years and a variety of outcomes, we can always rely on a peaceful transfer of power. Not every country in this world can say that.
- A community that cares for all children and tries to provide equal opportunities for those across the district.
- Strong support from our faith-based community. The mission of a school district is made so much easier when our faith-based organizations partner with us to help meet the needs of our students and families.
- Acceptance. On a personal note, I want to thank this community for accepting me, my wife and all my family. We consider Cy-Fair our own, and are grateful to you for making us a part of it.
- Family. Cindy and I have a couple grandchildren who are attending CFISD schools, and two more who will eventually. I would be remiss if I did not do what grandparents do and show them off a bit:
There is certainly much to be thankful for! I hope each and
every one of you has a safe, happy and restful Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy your
time spent with family and friends, and I look forward to seeing you back
safely on Nov. 28.
