Welcome back to the 2018-19 school year. Fall is my favorite time of year: the excitement of back to school, the fast-approaching autumn colors, hoodies, trips to the pumpkin patch, and yes, FOOTBALL! My family recently attended the annual Monarch-Titan football game, and Amy and I were reminded of the many things we love about this school district. The sense of pride, the support from our families, and above all, an undeniable sense of community. Papillion La Vista Community Schools is truly a special place.
I would also like to thank everyone for your support of the bond. Election night last May was a bit nerve-wracking to say the least. Our family and friends gathered at a local restaurant to have dinner and watch the results roll in. I was so pleased with the community’s overwhelming support. We have already started work on the project list including the expanded parking lot at Foundation Field and the security door locks at our elementary buildings. You will hear more about the bond projects and time lines in the coming months. We are committed to focusing on the safety and security projects our voters prioritized. We want to make the process and communication as transparent as possible.
Lastly, Papillion La Vista Community Schools has joined other schools across the metro area in the #Be Kind initiative. Our district theme for 2018-19 is, In a World Where You Can Be Known for Anything, Be Known for Kindness. I attended the Be Kind press conference at UNO and was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. Representatives from all three of our communities—Papillion, La Vista, and Bellevue—attended the event including personnel from the City, Police Departments, and Fire Departments. It made me very proud to live in such a caring, forward-thinking city.
So, from the Rikli family to yours, have a great 2018-19 school year and BE KIND.
