in Superintendent? Message I am very grateful to the students, parents, school staff and board members for the excellent support that has been given to me over the past several years. Education, like many other fields of endeavor, needs cooperation and in my opinion cooperation is the key that unlocks many doors and overcomes what seems to be unsurmountable obstacles. When progress has been made as it has at Atkinson then the above mentioned groups should be very proud that their efforts have culminated in worthwhile and productive gains which will live forever. ddfffaaj
