Commencement

Delta asked today what commencement means; she knew it was the end of something, but also that it literally means "beginning."

That’s sort of what I feel like tonight was — the end of a reasonably short but rigorous campaign, yet the beginning of a brand new four-year term.  When this term ends, I’ll have only one child left in K-12.

To each of you who voted, wrote a letter, prodded or encouraged me along the way, put up signs, and everything else — thank you very much.  It’s humbling, and I owe you all.

Now, a bit of sleep is in order.

  1. Congratualtions Netmom! YOu ran a clean, positive campaign that was issue focused. It is obvious by the results that your hard work in several areas, ie BEP funding, web based grade reporting, high school renovation and much more, are greatly appreciated by the voters of Oak Ridge. Last night while dining on the beach, Ms. Ann asked what will be next for Netmom? I stated, “Whatever she puts her mind to is what is next for Netmom.” Good job and thank you.

  2. Congratulations Netmom. Looking forward to seeing more excellent work on the school board over the next four years.
