Director's Update - Tony Oddo

Dear Choices Family:
As we look back on the past year, I must take a moment to thank all of you who have helped me get through what has been a terrific year for Choices.
First, to our awesome Advisory Council: Alyssa McDonald, Tala Ghandour, Sabrina Shihadeh, Maria Espinoza, Alethea Locaria, Russell Brown, Lana Antos, Kate Gollos, and Randi Kimmey – thank you for giving direction to our school!
We still have leadership positions open for next year – please call if you are interested!
Thank you to our one-woman PTA Tracy Corey, for bringing a smile to our faces and making us all feel appreciated.
I would like to thank the most incredible teaching staff I’ve ever been associated with for continuing their awesome job of educating our kids. A truly invaluable resource for all of us!
The office and school support team: Assistant Director Russell Brown – keeping the school tech up and running; administrative assistant Maria Espinoza – you keep me in line and informed!; student service representative (through May 2018) Cindy Raymond and her amazing replacement, Kate Gollos; counselor Martine Cermak; and Community Outreach Specialist, Melodie Smith.
Finally – the kids! You students make coming to work every day very unlike coming to work – you’re so much fun in so many ways!
Thanks again to everyone for a terrific year, and you’ll be hearing from me again in the fall!
Sincerely,
Tony Oddo, Director
