From The President of the WEA

Even though I have been trying, I realize that it will be impossible for me to meet with each one of you individually before we start our winter break, therefore I will use the next best thing, the Woodbury Education website to post this end of year message. I want to thank you ALL for your constant support and words of encouragement, they made my period of transition to president an easier one. Special thanks go to the Executive committee, the Negotiations committee, and the Action committee, these members have given countless hours in the past year working toward what we hope will ultimately be a fruitful contract settlement. To all Association Representatives, Sunshine, and Pride committees to name a few others, thank you for all you do behind the scenes, your efforts do not go unnoticed. And again to all the members who I have met and hope to meet in the upcoming year I wish you and your families a healthy, prosperous, and joyous New Year.
Sincerely,
Michele Sokolovic
