THANK YOU PTO AND IVY FAMILIES
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the delicious taco bar and breakfast spread—we truly felt the love! Your generosity and thoughtfulness mean so much to us.
We also loved seeing all of our families come together as students proudly shared their learning and progress. There is so much to celebrate, and we are grateful to be a part of this amazing community.
Thank you for your support! 💙
With appreciation,
The Ivy Stockwell Staff

BERTHOUD BASH
What Exactly is the Berthoud Bash?
The Berthoud Bash is the Berthoud Schools Fund’s one-and-only, annual spring event that combines the traditional aspects of a fundraising gala (dinner and auctions) without any of the boring stuff like long-winded speeches or awards presentations. Attendees come to the Bash with two goals- to raise a lot of money for the 5 Berthoud Schools and to have a great time. The best part of the Berthoud Bash... is that all the money raised stays in the Berthoud Community. The Bash is our community coming together to support our schools.

SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH SURVEY
Dear Thompson School District Stakeholders: As you may know, the Thompson School District Board of Education has begun searching for our next Superintendent of Schools to follow Dr. Schaffer when he leaves us at the end of the current school year. The Board has hired McPherson & Jacobson, a national school superintendent search firm, to assist us in finding the most qualified candidates available. As part of this important work, the Board has asked our search consultants to gather information and comments from stakeholders. So we would very much appreciate it if you would take just a couple of minutes to answer a few questions through an anonymous online survey. You can access the superintendent search survey by clicking this link. The survey will remain open through March 12, 2025. Thank you for your support,
Thompson School District

Como parte de este importante trabajo, la Junta ha pedido a nuestros consultores de búsqueda que recopilen información y comentarios de los interesados, por lo que agradeceríamos mucho si pudieran tomarse solo unos minutos para responder a algunas preguntas a través de una encuesta en línea anónima.
