December 2024 Message
As we enter the holiday break, the sort-of “half time” of our school year, I reflect upon how grateful I am for the support the Sunnyvale community shows for our children and their education. The most recent example of our community’s unwavering commitment to the education of our children was the overwhelming support for Measure Y on the November ballot. We are truly humbled and grateful that over 82% of voters chose to invest in the future of our students. This level of support for any measure is truly unheard of.
