Were you able to attend the Vigo County School Corporation’s\u00a0State of the Schools community meeting<\/a> led by superintendent Rob Haworth? There’s never a perfect time for a community meeting, but I know this particular meeting happened to be at a time when a lot of parents were putting their kids to bed. For those who couldn’t make it, here’s a recap!<\/p>\n

I’ve been hearing lots of positive community feedback regarding Dr. Haworth. He seems enthusiastic, genuine, and likable. And guess what? I think he likes us too! Dr. Haworth opened with words of praise and thanks for our community. We have welcomed him, wrapped our arms around his family, made Vigo County feel like home. (We can and should feel proud of this!)<\/p>\n

To illustrate, Dr. Haworth quoted these lyrics and explained that he wants our students to grow up sharing his sentiment that we’re lucky in this town:<\/p>\n

Here everybody has a neighbor
\nEverybody has a friend
\nEverybody has a reason to begin again<\/p>\n

My father said “Son, we’re lucky in this town,
\nIt’s a beautiful\u00a0place to be born.
\nIt just wraps its arms around you,
\nNobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone”<\/p>\n

“Your flag flyin’ over the courthouse
\nMeans certain things are set in stone.
\nWho we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t”<\/p>\n

One of the main purposes of this particular meeting was to share what the school corporation learned from the 2018 Community Conversations<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
