I came to Marysville nearly nine years ago filled with hopes and dreams as well as fears and apprehensions. I prayed for a home in Marysville, a good leadership team, and thousands of pray-ERs that would support our schools and our community. God delivered even more than I hoped for. Our leadership team works well together. Principals and teachers are making good things happen in our schools. And I love my five-minute commute. I have also discovered that God had people at work praying for Marysville long before I came. I am so appreciative of the Marysville churches and community and staff for the way in which they embrace our schools and our students.
