APS Teammates and Community Supporters,
As I sit down to write this Holiday Greeting, I am profoundly appreciative for this year and this last semester. My wife Ellen and I are looking forward to the entourage of family and friends that we will be able to make memories with this season. In this stage of our lives we are excited about grandchildren but we fondly remember our own kids as they grew up. This perspective brings home a sincere appreciation for what our APS team does for the students in our schools–they are our future and we can all celebrate every small and large victory we have as one more student benefits from the magic that is done in our classrooms supported by all 5500 employees in our district.
As you will hear from me during the various holiday seasons, I will always be grateful for the opportunity to be on your team in this noble profession of educating our kids. Please take the time to spend your well deserved time off with your family and friends, enjoy the end of a semester where we all can catch our breath and get our batteries recharged, and remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones so we can enter a new year full of memories and excitement for what we can accomplish for kids in 2008.
Thanks to all our parents, political leaders, business partners, community leaders, AEA leaders, and APS supporters–we all appreciate your support and partnership in helping us accelerate student achievement in Aurora Public Schools.
From our Family to yours, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
John and Ellen Barry
