Here we are at the end of the 2005-2006 academic year. Some students are graduating, some with honors, many with scholarships. Some students are moving to new schools. Some students are moving up a grade within the same school. And every student is glad that summer vacation is almost here. To all of you parents of MNPS students out there, Thank you very much !. You have entrusted us with the most precious thing in your lives, your children. We have tried hard to live up to that trust and we will continue to make our schools the best schools possible. Your support in volunteering, in making it possible for your children to attend and participate in after school activities, and in keeping yourselves informed, has made the education your chil- dren received possible.
