January is School Board Recognition Month, a great opportunity to say thank you to the Valley Heights Board of Education who are committed to the success of every student in our community.
Our board of education includes David Vermetten, Sharon Osborne, Robert Chase, Theresa Minihan, Melva Sanner, Mike Vermetten and John Walsh.
These seven community leaders volunteer hundreds of hours attending meetings, reading reports and discussing plans and programs to support educational achievement. Our board members develop policies and make complex decisions that shape the future of our education system. As you can see, a board member’s responsibility goes far behind the monthly meeting.
The administration and staff of USD 498 encourages the entire community to thank a school board member, not only this month but throughout the entire year. Please join with us in sharing our gratitude for these devoted community members who consistently go above and beyond to serve the entirety of Valley Heights schools!
Stay tuned to our social media and live feed as we feature each of our board of education members throughout the month of January!
