eNews for Kyrene's
Native American Community
July 27, 2009
Greetings from Josh Glider
Hello everyone and
welcome to the 2009-2010 school year! I just wanted to take a moment and
introduce myself to you and let you all know how excited I am to be
working with you! As you probably already know, Bonni Pomush has
resigned her position within Kyrene to explore other opportunities in
California. With her departure, I have been offered the wonderful
opportunity to continue her work as the administrator overseeing Native
American programming here in Kyrene. I have spent the last six years
working with and being mentored by Bonni in the Kyrene Community
Education and Outreach Services Department working with our Kids Club
and Summer Academy programs. I look forward to hearing from you as we
begin our work together. You can reach me at
jglider@kyrene.org or
480-783-4132. Thank you and here's to a great year!
