Principal’s Pad
June 11, 2010 – This is the last bulletin of our school year and I want to again thank all the staff, parents, and students who have done so much this year. I think I have worked harder this year than any other year in twenty years being a part of the Coos Bay School District, but I have so enjoyed the people at Sunset. This staff is truly a special group of professionals. It takes a unique individual to find a love in working with middle school aged students and we have the cream of the crop at Sunset. Losing five certified staff members from last year, being a new principal to Sunset, having less staffing in nursing, secretaries, custodians and our vice principal all create challenges for us, but the staff at Sunset truly are a ‘can do’ group of optimistic folks. I surely appreciate their dedication to our students and the way they work together to be creative and do what is best for kids.
Thanks to all the families who came to the Dolphin Pride Award dessert last Tuesday night. We honored ‘champion’ students who may often go without the recognition they deserve as they are role models and demonstrate the kinds of behaviors that we want our kids to have. They may have turned a corner and made huge improvements, always treat others in a caring and kind way, demonstrate integrity and honesty, or many other great behaviors that will take them far in life.
Next week we will be cleaning out our lockers, having blue ribbon day, having a slide show, having an extended lunch with a BBQ, and my band will play for our students at the end of the day on Wednesday. I hope our students enjoy the end of the year activities and again, I’d like to thank all of you for your support this year. Have a wonderful summer and I’m sure I’ll hear many great things about our students in years to come.
Thanks,
Dale Inskeep
