Good Evening!
Well, we made it through a very trying semester of school, pretty much unscathed. Four months ago, I was really thinking things would have turned out much worse than they did. Because of the dedication of our staff, students, school board, and parents, things really went quite well. I am so proud of this community, the entire Ethan staff, and all of the students for doing their part to minimize the effect that the COVID-19 pandemic had on our school. I am really proud of how our staff and students adjusted to the changes the pandemic caused in our daily routines, and they handled it with such grace and positivity!
As the holiday season is now upon us, I cannot help but to think of all the things I am thankful for. I am so thankful to be working in the Ethan School District. I am so thankful for such a great staff of dedicated professionals who continue to amaze me on a daily basis. I am thankful for the parents and the community of Ethan who believe in the importance of challenging our students to be the best they can be. Moreover, I am especially thankful for having the best students the state of South Dakota has to offer, right here in our building. They are such a joy to be around and I could not imagine being anywhere else. All of our staff members and all of our students make Ethan the greatest place to be!
Wishing all of you the happiest of holidays and all the joy the season can bring! Please stay safe, stay healthy, and I can’t wait to see everyone in 2021!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!
Mr. Hawkins
