M S D O F WAY N E TOWNSH I P
Thank You From Dr. Butts
First of all, thank you for being a mentor in the
most successful reading intervention program
in Indiana, HOSTS. I often say that the
success of our schools is the success of our
community and certainly the success of our
community is the success of our schools. The
words: I Am Wayne, You Are Wayne, WE Are
Wayne could not be demonstrated more visibly
than the work mentors conduct each day with
our 2nd and 3rd grade students. Thank you for
making the 2013-14 school year one of the
most successful in our history. You DO make
a difference. I hope to see you reading with
students again next year.
Have a great
summer.
