Dear Branchville Community,
As we enter this final full week, it's truly remarkable how quickly the 2024-2025 school year has passed. This spring has particularly highlighted the unique spirit of our community, with events that showcase what we can achieve together. Our motto, "educating everyone takes everyone," was certainly evident over the past few weeks, with contributions coming from all directions. This collective effort didn't just happen; it was cultivated through the dedicated work of our PTA and parent volunteers, who organized many events fostering that distinct Branchville atmosphere. Even staff-initiated activities like the BES Art Show, The School Musical, and Field Day saw parents readily step in to help, demonstrating a true partnership among staff, PTA, and parents.
A large part of the success of these events rests with the PTA executive board and the considerable time our PTA co-chairs, Katherine Vollemicke and Deanna Nayes, invested in our school. A special thank you to Katherine, our outgoing co-president. Her collaboration, leadership, and dedication to creating positive student experiences have been invaluable. On behalf of the entire community, thank you for your contributions to our school.
Every day, I'm reminded of how fortunate we are to have each staff member at Branchville. Their commitment to learning, both social and academic, is clear in the discussions I join or overhear. Branchville staff, your efforts truly make this the place to be.
I hope to see you this week and with this last Branchville Bulletin for the school year, I wish you a relaxing and enriching summer ahead.
Keith L Margolus
