June 2015




The last concert has ended, the last art show has been viewed. The final theatre presentation has closed. The stage is empty. But great things have occurred here in East Brunswick Public Schools during my tenure here. September brings a new beginning for me and for the East Brunswick educational community. Great things will continue to happen, programs will continue to grow, and East Brunswick will continue to be a model for the arts through its quantity, quality, and diversity of courses and programs.
 
All my best to the students, staff, faculty, and central administration of East Brunswick Public Schools, and your new Supervisor of Arts Education, Mr. John Perillo.

Congratulations to the following students:
