Holiday message from Dr. Vargas

Dear Manchester School District community:


The winter holiday season is a wonderful time for celebration and appreciation of the people around us.  I would like to thank our staff, students and families for their work, support and commitment to learning in Manchester. I am proud of your many accomplishments, and look forward to the new year ahead. Indeed, you are impacting on our children’s lives every day.


This also is the time of year for giving back and taking care of members of our community who need an extra hand. Thank you to all of our schools and community partners that hosted and contributed to food drives, toy drives, winter coat drives and other fundraisers to ensure that our children and their families experience the spirit of the season.


I wish you a very happy and peaceful holiday.


With respect and gratitude,

Bolgen Vargas, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools

The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area.
