In 25 years of teaching, I have never had such a wonderful "Education Family" as I have had here at MBTA. Students, parents, teachers, staff, administrators and clergy have come together to provide education, spiritual and nutritional support, and love to our community, and I could not be more proud and grateful to have been a part. I thank each one of you at home for your support and commitment to your child's education during this time of e-Learning. I know that even under the best of circumstances, it would not have been easy. This time is certainly not the best of circumstances. I have been privileged, teaching your children and partnered with you this year, and I look forward to the future and to watching our students learn and grow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Mr. Noe
