The Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) has designated the month of January as School Board Appreciation Month. At the January 18th Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Ewert took a moment to thank LPS Board members Jack Reutzel, Carrie-Warren Gully, Kelly Perez, Jim Stephens and Robert Reichardt for their dedicated service to Littleton Public Schools. 

Superintendent Ewert thanked the board for their integrity, courage and always putting the needs of students first. He also thanked the Board for:

• The time Board members spend away from their own families to spend with the “LPS family”;
• The passion they have for education and for each child’s welfare;
• The professionalism they exhibit;
• The knowledge they have regarding this school district and this community;
• Their tireless advocacy for the resources that are necessary for continuous improvement in student learning;
• Their willingness to grapple with the complicated issues that really matter on behalf of kids and families; and
• The positive example they set and the leadership they provide not only at the local level but at the state level, as well.

Superintendent Ewert also recognized Carrie-Warren Gully, who recently concluded her year as President of the Board of Directors for the Colorado Association of School Boards. "Carrie is an outstanding advocate for the children of Colorado, and her leadership certainly serves as a model for others," said Ewert. "She is widely known and well-respected for her work on behalf of public education, not just in LPS but across the state - which was quite evident at last month’s CASB conference. Many, many board members and school leaders across Colorado sought her out to shake her hand and personally thank her for her advocacy."
