LETTER FROM A COMMUNITY MEMBER

A great day at Chippewa...

To Whom It May Concern: 

I am a local business owner that just recently had the opportunity to speak to one of Chippewa’s business classes.  I visit and speak at high schools 2 or 3 times a week and visit 15 different schools throughout the year.

I just have to stop and bring to someone’s attention the wonderful experience I had at Chippewa on Wednesday.  It started off at 7:00am.  A young man walking next to me approaching the main doors opened the door for me, and not knowing me replied, “Welcome to Chippewa.”  This was a student.  It made me smile and started my day at Chippewa off so positive.  As I approached the desk, it was 7:00am and very busy, but your reception desk took the time to make me feel welcome. 

It’s nice to see a system that was not only safe and secure for the students, but also public friendly.  Again, it made me feel positive about Chippewa.  The students in the class I spoke to was Mrs. Walker's 1st hour.  What a great reflection on your school!

I don't have any children in the Chippewa Valley District, but I would be proud to say my child went to Chippewa Valley Schools.  The reason I'm sending this e-mail is that we are always hearing about the bad things with students and schools and I think when a school shines with positivity and good, we should talk more about it.  Great staff, great students, and great job in a very tough time.  Whatever you are doing, keep it up.  It’s working!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
