April 3, 2024
Dear Anthony Wayne Stakeholders,
With spring break now behind us, we have less than 40 days left in the 2023-24 school year. This year is passing very quickly, and with the very busy months of April and May ahead, the last day of school will be here before we know it.
Just like the current weather, this year has brought some rainy days and the forecast for the fall is a bit uncertain. But we know that spring sunshine is coming and that as we enter the last weeks of school, there will be many opportunities to celebrate all of the achievements and accomplishments of our staff and students. The number of awards and honors our Generals are earning is truly remarkable.
As we enter the final stretch, I encourage all of our staff, students, families and community members to continue giving your best effort every day. Let’s maintain our focus, enthusiasm, and positivity to ensure that we finish the year strong.
Remember, each and every one of us has an impact on our students’ education today and their success in the future. Let’s rally together, support one another, and make these last few weeks memorable and impactful for our students.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jim Fritz, Superintendent
Anthony Wayne Local Schools
