In recent years, when I have written letters about USD 489, often it has been to complain. But not this time. I want to commend the school board and superintendent Wilson for working so well together and in collaboration with school principals, who are making such strenuous efforts daily and weekly to lead teachers and staff in maintaining positive educational settings on behalf of the students in our district.
One example is the work of Hays High football coach Tony Crough who has joined with Athletic Director Lance Krannawitter and high school Principal Marty Straub to create an ordinary football season in turbulent times and given our youth the opportunity to enjoy what has become an extraordinary and unforgettable experience, with hopefully even a few more games yet to be played and watched and cheered.
My wife and I are so proud of everyone throughout the district who has contributed to what is already a memorable school year, under difficult circumstances. God bless each employee of USD 489 for your heroic efforts on behalf of the children and youth of Hays, America.
