To the Students, Staff and others who came out to join us tonight, a very special thank you for prioritizing education in Winchendon! Especially on such a hot night! Now, let’s move forward together and do our best to make our schools better for every single student. It won’t happen overnight or in a year, it will take time, but if we work together and are truly invested it can happen. I hope you will join me in this important work, because I’m not giving up on our students or district.”
