I am excited to be attending my first state conference as the Superintendent of Allen Park Public Schools. I will be meeting up with some former “AP” administrators: Mark Greathead, Superintendent Woodhaven and Dr. Russ Pickell, Superintendent Riverview. I’ve provided the “jam packed agenda” for your viewing pleasure. There are several “hot topics” being discussed and a wide variety of learning sessions I will be attending. I don’t golf, so you won’t see me on the news (many of you are too young to remember that story), nor do I gamble. I do enjoy checking out new restaurants and look forward to walking around the downtown area in the evening. I hope you all have a fantastic week!
I will be back in time to participate with our Homecoming Parade, enjoy our Italian Dinner and watch the Big Game this Friday! GO JAGS!!
