[Congratulating principals, teachers, parents and students,] on a truly remarkable year, ... another encouraging sign that our reforms are taking hold.

The teachers at Lake Powell Academy, as well as the parents and students, put a lot of effort into improving the programs, so that result is not surprising. Achievement was not an issue in our closing; it was strictly financial.

Ready Kids is a tool for parents and teachers to use to be able to speak to their students and children about how to be prepared for any type of disaster.

It takes us all. That's why it's important that parents, teachers and students work together in concert to address these issues.

It takes a lot of planning. It involves teachers, staff, parents, students, alumni and a lot of business who donate a lot of services.

I would love to get more much students involved. I've been talking to teachers and parents trying to get everyone interested in this important event.
