celebrate Germantown

I hope your break was safe and restful and that everyone had the chance to relax and enjoy some quality time with family during the holidays.

Along with the requisite resolutions, the start of a new year means we can flip our focus to fresh starts and new beginnings. And after the year we just experienced, I'm sure we're all eager to do just that. But before we completely turn the page on 2020, I'd like to pause and give a giant “thank you” to the entire Germantown School District community for the commitment and support that you continue to provide to our students, our families, and our staff.

While the new year may still present us with adversity in addition to opportunity, I know that when we work together we truly are better. We will continue to encourage one another. We will continue to celebrate one another. And we will continue to take pride in the accomplishments of all members of our greater GSD family. It's acts of kindness, whether large or small, that move us forward despite the obstacles and challenges that can get in our way.

Help us shine a light on the positive things happening in and around the Germantown School District. If you have an inspiring school-related story, a “shout out” to someone amazing, something special that inspires joy, we'd love to hear about them, even if we're not able to share them all. Send your anecdotes to celebrate@gsdwi.org and let's remind one another that we have much to be thankful for as we start 2021.

Together we are better,
Brett Stousland
Superintendent
