Principal, program very impressive

I am the very proud parent of a Marysville fifth grader going into middle school next year. Like many other parents, I was apprehensive of what next year would bring. I want to thank Principal Judy Albertson of Totem Middle School in Marysville for putting any fears I had to rest. She graciously took three hours of her time giving me and another mother her full attention as she gave us an extensive tour of Totem. She answered all of our questions and addressed any of the concerns we came with that day.

We learned that Totem Middle School is run with efficiency, communication and with all of the staff participating in a very hands-on manner. The classrooms were full of enthusiasm, the lunch period very well run, and all in all, these two moms were extremely impressed. We even offered to assist with the PTA next year. I want to commend Principal Albertson for the way she runs her school and her views on parent participation at the middle school level. I am looking forward to next year, and give thanks that my child will be in her school.
