There is Power in Good Work

Jonas Salk said, "The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more." Tom Sachs said, "The reward for good work is more work.”

As I reflect on the most challenging year of being a member of the Milpitas Unified School District Board of Trustees, I am extremely grateful for the work well done. I'm grateful for the work accomplished by my local and regional colleagues, our employees and parents of Milpitas Unified, and the community in service of our families and children.

Our community-based partners are providing acts of kindness daily for our families and children.

Our religious institutions are offering prayers, places of refuge and resources for spiritual health and physical well-being for our families and children.

Our mental health practitioners and district leaders are continuously implementing measures that keep employee morale and self-care top of mind for our families and children. 

Our police, fire fighters, first responders, and healthcare workers are visible and accessible to all providing collaborative strategies for the public safety of our families and children.

Our families and children are modeling and reflecting our examples through their giving, volunteerism, leadership and community service for others.

There is Power in Good Work.
