It has been an exciting year, full of wonderful opportunities which have enabled me to share the message that our Public Schools have and will continue to invite, celebrate and support ALL children; that our Members believe Alberta’s Public Schools are the first choice of our communities, where all of our children learn and live the values of democracy together, reflecting our hope and shaping the future of our communities. I am honored to serve as your President and reaffirm my commitment that my work will continue to focus on that which unites all of us who proudly serve the staff, families and communities that support all children attending Alberta’s Public Schools. The Report which follows provides several highlights regarding the work I have undertaken over the past year. Priorities One/Two: Support and Improve Public School Education/Local Governance Meetings with Hon. J. Johnson, Minister of Education Over the past year I have met and/or spoken with the Hon. J.
