Community Newsletter Update
Dear Families, Students, and Staff,
As we approach the end of 2024, I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt thanks for your continued support throughout the year. This is a time for reflection, connection, and gratitude, and I’m so thankful for the wonderful community we’ve built together.
The holidays can be a busy time, so I encourage everyone to take a moment to check in with one another. A small act of kindness can truly brighten someone’s day and make a big difference.
On behalf of the entire Brunswick School Department, I wish you all a joyful and peaceful holiday season, filled with happiness and warmth. Here’s to a bright and prosperous New Year ahead!
Warmly,
Superintendent Potenziano
Retirement Recognition for Jerry Cross!
Jerry Cross
Computer Support Technician
How long have you been with the BSD?
19 years
What do you enjoy most about working at BSD?
It's been so great to work with passionate, friendly, caring, incredible people. The variety of duties in this position has kept me hopping. Working with computers and working with staff and students. One day I'm studying a complex computer issue and the next I'm helping a user understand how a computer works.
What do you plan to do on your first day of retirement?
My first day will be spent celebrating my 29th birthday again!
What do you look forward to most in your retirement years?
I'm looking forward to more time building relationships - especially with my granddaughter. We'll be developing our hillside land in Oxford Hills, participating in auto clubs and shows, jamming with musician friends, traveling, summers off, starting a project and finishing (?) it!
Tell us about one of your most memorable moments while working in Brunswick.
Lots of memorable moments! First of all, Dan Dearing and I worked together for much of the time I've spent here. What a great person! My buddy Mark Rineer and I worked together out of the same office for 3 years. Fun and eventful! The last two years with Tricia as Tech Director have been tremendous. A first-class professional! Many people to be thankful for and grateful to know. Thanks to all for many years working together!!!
