Happy New Year! - When bringing in a New Year it is a common tradition to come up with New Year Resolutions. Here are my New Year Resolutions for the Mt. Olive School District.

I want to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to get through these tough and uncertain economic times that we now face. By working together we are bound to come up with the best solutions for these difficult times.

We will continue our drive to provide the best education possible for the students of the Mt. Olive School District. One of our staff professional development goals this year is to provide more engaged learning opportunities for our students. Research shows that students that are engaged in learning retain at a higher rate.

A school that children want to be at is a place where children learn. It is my goal to have all students eager to come to school. By giving students the opportunity to belong to clubs, organizations, and athletic teams is an important piece of the educational puzzle.

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holidays!

Patrick Murphy
Mt. Olive Superintendent
