Greetings. I hope spring finds you all happy and healthy after a long winter. The other day I found myself laughing at a T.V. commercial that depicts a dazed man stumbling into a cook-out with full winter attire still on. His friends in shorts and t-shirts rush to his side to inform him that winter is over and one friend calls out “Get this man a hamburger!” as if calling for a doctor. The look on the winter-worn man’s face was actually pretty accurate. Along those same lines, while driving home last week I saw a homeowner in his front yard raking fastidiously at the first melted area on his lawn - the rest of his lawn still covered with snow. His efforts seemed less about the need for cleanup and more about the need to be outside doing something. I think we are all ready for some outdoor activity.

On May 5th, Monty Tech is hosting the annual Superintendent’s “Dust-Off” car show- a great reason to get outside and kick-off spring! We always have some really great cars, music, trophies, food, and prizes. Whether you’re a die-hard car buff or just looking for something fun, it’s a great event for the whole family and we would love to see you there.
