It is with mixed feelings that I have decided to retire at the end of June. I have thoroughly enjoyed my years in Jericho, and especially the last five years at Jackson, but it's time for me to move on.
I sincerely hope that I have successfully shared my love of books, of using new technologies, and of the importance of being responsible digital citizens with my students. I am grateful for the support of parents, faculty, staff, and administration, and wish every Jackson student the best of everything! Once again I encourage our students to READ EVERY DAY this summer. Although every library is functioning a little differently right now, Jackson students are fortunate to be able to access hundreds of ebooks and audiobooks through our collaboration with the Jericho Public Library. Some messages are worth repeating: Access via Computer- To search and access the collection on the computer go to- https://soraapp.com/welcome/login/200190
