[0:02] Hi everybody. My name is Dr. Aaron [0:04] Rathky. I'm the superintendent Eastern [0:05] Carver County Schools. Well, it's [0:07] finally Friday before winter break and [0:09] we are excited to send our students home [0:12] to a wonderful opportunity to take some [0:15] rest and re relaxation and refresh and [0:17] be with their families. But as always, [0:19] we always miss our students. We can't [0:21] wait to welcome them back in 2026. I [0:24] just want to personally, as a [0:25] superintendent, thank you for being part [0:27] of the ECCS difference. our staff, our [0:30] students, our communities, our families, [0:32] our business partners, our community [0:34] partners, our community leaders. We're [0:36] all part of what makes ECCS so special. [0:39] And there really truly is an ECCS [0:42] difference. And so I want to wish you a [0:44] wonderful holiday and can't wait to [0:46] welcome you back into 2026. Remember, [0:49] attendance is important. We can't wait [0:51] for you to get back right away in [0:53] January. As always, thanks for checking [0:55] me out in 112 seconds.
