Thank you, Mr. Sabo.

SINCE OUR LAST MEETING
I want to thank everyone for their support of the Rowan County bond by educating and working polls on Tuesday. Our efforts were successful and the Bond passed! Vice President of Student Success, Natasha Lipscomb asked me to share her appreciation for all you have done to support the legacy we will leave.     After the meeting, there was a pep rally and training session for the Rowan County Bond support. Students, faculty, and staff went to 45 polling sites across Rowan County, taking vacation time, to encourage voters to support the bond initiative. I want to thank all students who helped to support the bond, it passed! Students completed well over 200 volunteer hours educating about the bond.

I attended the Board of Trustees Meeting Feb. 24th
