Superintendent's Message
Happy Holidays Colusa County!
As we approach the holidays, we are reminded that it’s a time to celebrate family, friends, and the many wonderful things in our lives. For many of us it is also a time to honor our cultural heritage or to remember people important to us, both those who are with us and those we wish were with us. It’s a time to reflect back on the year, and think of all that has been accomplished and of what is yet to come.
To those working at our school districts and to the employees of CCOE, I want to say thank you. The wonderful accomplishments our
students have made thus far this year is due in part to your hard work and dedication. You are truly our greatest asset. It’s your teamwork, diligence, creativity, ingenuity, and perseverance that make our county great.
I’m looking forward to this second half of the school year, as I’m sure it will continue to be full of challenges, opportunities, and surprises. I have confidence that they will be faced with as much grace, resourcefulness, and dedication as has been displayed this year.
As we move into 2023, it is also important to know that you are not alone. Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Lean on one another should you need it, and don’t be afraid to ask for help should the situation arise.
May you have a peaceful, joyful, and safe holiday season and a wonderful New Year!
