However, she was also impressed with the excellent condition of the schools and facilities. Community involvement is critical for the success of any school district. She was interested in the Circus Project at the Frederick Leighton Elementary School, the prize winning Oswego Middle Schools who recently achieved success in the Eckerd Drug Quiz competition and she commended all of the presidents and their parents for their dedication and leadership roles. During her visit to the Oswego High School she also conducted a forum for students, administrators, teachers and community members. Everyone needs to continue to work together to maintain the level of quality you have established in your schools.
Teamwork is essential for success.
She was very impressed at how articulate our students were and how they grasp things that are going on in the community. The students discussed finances, energy deregulation and the budget and how all of those factors come together to impact the school program. Sometimes we take these things for granted during our every day life, but when it comes down to it, we have great things for our youngsters here in Oswego. She was very positive in her day long experience within the district and I am certain that she is going to share with others throughout the United States all of the good things occurring in the Oswego City School District.
