Note
of Thanks to the YDS Community
Many
thanks to you all for your generous contributions to the staff Christmas gift.
We were able to give very nice gifts of cash to all of our custodial,
dining hall, grounds, and security colleagues at the close of last semester.
Each one of these friends in our support staff expressed great
appreciation for the kindness and generosity of this community, and asked me to
convey their thanks to you for the gifts they
received. Thank you all. My best wishes to you for the new year and
new semester ahead. Welcome back!
Gratefully,
Dale Peterson, Dean of
