A FAREWELL MESSAGE FROM MR. MACKSEY❤️‼️
“To the parents of the wonderful students at Harrison Elementary,
I would like to thank you for a wonderful 4 years. When I came to this position, I knew this would be my final position and I was determined to make Harrison the best school in the district. I am particularly proud of the fact that our circulations went up from roughly 10,000 / year to 20,000/year each year I have been here. Reading is such a gateway to success, and I hope I played a small measure in that.
My retirement plans are set; My wife and I are moving to Arizona, where I will be teaching 3rd and 4th grade. It is a return to my roots, as I loved my years as a classroom teacher. I wish only the best for your children and you, and I am so grateful you have accepted me into the Harrison family. Once a Hawk, always a Hawk!
With gratitude,
Mr. Macksey
P.S. Make sure you enroll your child in the Summer Reading Program so they don't.... wait for it: "Get Dummer over the Summer". Thank you and goodbye!”
