What's BUB-ling?
Dear West Ada Faculty and Staff,
As we approach the final week of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and admiration for the resilience, dedication, and hard work demonstrated by each of you throughout this unprecedented year.
Next week marks the last week of school, and it’s a time to reflect on the achievements and growth we’ve all experienced. Despite the challenges we faced, our community has shown remarkable adaptability and perseverance. I encourage everyone to check in with one another, celebrate your accomplishments, and look forward to the exciting opportunities that the future holds.
As we transition into summer, I hope you take the time to relax, recharge, and enjoy this well-deserved break. Whether you’re planning a vacation, exploring new hobbies, or simply spending quality time with loved ones, make the most of these moments.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our school community. I am incredibly proud to serve as your superintendent and look forward to the wonderful things we will achieve together in the coming school year.
Wishing you all a safe, happy, and restful summer.
With utmost appreciation,
Dr. Derek Bub
Superintendent, West Ada School District
