Bravo!

Tonight at the AG Bell Speech Fair Tim Smith (USDB Superintendent) announced that the Utah State Legislature is giving $6 Million for a building in SLC and that the Alpine School District (Rob Smith, Mr. Smith's son, Alpine SD Assistant Superintendent) is giving USDB the land that they have used for the last 20 years by Orem Elementary to build a permanent structure to house all the disparate parts of the USDB South's programs.

The building he described sounded as though he was reading the J2H vision statement.

Mr. Smith said they are collecting bids for a lovely new modular building that they are going to pay for with nickles and dimes that they have saved over the years. Wow. What a great idea, great way to make it happen, what a great way to move ahead.

When I congratulated Mr. Smith he said that Marilyn Madsen deserved all the credit. Brilliance.
