Hello Ellensburg!

It's been a great first month of school. From our littlest learners preparing for kindergarten, to to our Ellensburg High School seniors preparing for life after graduation, our students are busy, happy and learning.

My family and I are getting settled into our new home. With three children participating in Fall sports, evenings are hectic and busy, as many parents can relate to right now. The kids are settling into their new schools and my son, our youngest, has provided me with a detailed list of improvements to get to work on. Ah, teens.

I have been busy meeting with leaders from throughout the area. I have learned a lot about local organizations and businesses and look forward to expanding and formalizing some of our important partnerships. It has also been great to reconnect with old friends and colleagues in the region.

We are off to a great start here in Ellensburg. I look forward to the traditions and seasons to come.
