Los Angeles Unified School District


	Thank You for All That You Do Growing up, Miss Scott made learning to read fun and exciting for me. Patient and kind, creative and very effective, she praised and encouraged me, making me feel special and smart when I was a mischievous little boy in the first grade. I never personally thanked Miss Scott. Today, I am thanking her publicly. I am thankful for every LAUSD teacher. I am also thankful for the bus drivers who make sure our students get to school on time. For the buildings-and-grounds workers who beautify our campuses. For the cafeteria workers who put nutrition first and still serve our legendary old-fashioned coffee cake. For the office staff who get things done. For the school nurses who are working harder than ever because of the H1N1 swine flu. I am thankful for every LAUSD employee. We all contribute in our own way to the operation of this District, and to our primary mission: graduating students prepared to succeed in college or a job. In this season of Thanksgiving, I want to be the first—but hopefully not the last--to say thank you. Ramon C. Cortines, Superintendent
