My Son and I attended the Blue Hands Autism Awareness Event at McCollough-Unis on April 2nd. We ran into Trustee Berry, Dr. Chochol, PTA Council President Haidar, Ms. DeJaeger(Special Education Director), Inaya Soufyan(teacher), Principal Farhat, along with many parents, students, staff and families. The Dearborn Special Education Department helped to sponsor the event. It was a great event for a wonderful cause and a lot of fun. Thank you to the Blue Hands United Group for their great work.
President Bazzi and I had an excellent experience at the National School Board Association Conference. There was a lot of learning and networking. It was huge conference with high quality presentations. In fact, I think that it was the largest conference that I have ever attended. We plan to give a presentation at the P-12 board of Education meeting on April 10.
We wrote the following message on the board – Students First: Educate, Inspire, Celebrate. 
Dr. Douglas Reeves. I am a big fan of his research and work on assessment and educational leadership. The Administrators in Dearborn use his evaluation model for principal evaluations.
