My end of the year gift to you is a penny, but why? Look at the penny and you will understand.

The year is 2016—so you will always remember this time.  "Honest Abe" Lincoln is on the front—always be honest with yourself and others.

The word LIBERTY—as they say in the Navy, you are now "at liberty," and that means you are free to do as you like. Don't waste that freedom.

IN GOD WE TRUST—you must trust in someone or something; you can't go through life alone. Trust in yourself, trust in God, trust the life you make.

A penny may be worth only one cent, and you can't buy much with a penny anymore. However, every dollar is made up of 100 pennies, and every kid's piggy bank starts with one penny. The penny, like each of you, is not made of pure silver or gold—but surely if you put enough pennies together, they will amount to something.

I thank you that you have given Coolidge the gift of yourself for the 2015-2016 school year, you helped make it important.  You helped our students set value on life, education and to set goals for themselves.

And, in case you need it ...
Here's a penny for luck. 


The use of sick leave for all three days in question, May 26, 27, and 31, will be allowed for those employees who have sick leave available for their use. According to the terms of the Teacher and Support CBAs, personal business is not allowed in the last week of school, so that category of leave will not be allowed. Employees who do not have sick leave but do not wish to report to work, may take leave without pay. Failure to report to work on any or all of the three days in question for employees without a sufficient balance of sick leave will indeed result in their pay being reduced for the corresponding number of hours. Sick leave sharing is not applicable for these three days.  Per Janis Perrault
