For a long time, I thought I'd send a message like the one below to staff when I retired from Minnetonka Public Schools… instead, today is my last day at Tonka and retirement is still years away:
Thanks to all of you for making the past 26 years I’ve worked in Minnetonka awesome! From my time teaching in the classroom to working with instructional technology and media districtwide, plus coaching middle school sports, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I have learned so much from you. I’ve had the privilege to see the work you do every day for students and for our own children—my wife and I feel so blessed to have our kids in Tonka (two graduated, two to go). I hope you have a great start to the school year and look forward to seeing you sometime in the future!
My new job begins on Monday when I start work as the Director of Technology for Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis. I'm excited about this new role and looking forward to the challenges ahead!
