Over the last few years, the District has published an annual report aligned with our 2019-2024 Strategic Plan Excellence for All: A Medway Mindset. The complete strategic plan can be viewed here: https://bit.ly/3Xj85kM. The Annual Report is intended to provide progress updates on goals and metrics associated with the efforts outlined in the strategic plan. With the known FY23 fiscal challenges, the district has decided to share the 2021-2022 Annual Report (last school year’s accomplishments and data points) with the community in a virtual instead of a printed format. You can find the 2021-2022 Excellence for All: A Medway Mindset Annual Report here: https://bit.ly/3Xnu6yS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
January is the time of year when many of us focus our efforts on breaking habits that no longer support us and strive to live a healthier lifestyle by eating better and incorporating exercise into our life. Dry January, zero consumption of alcohol, has been gaining traction over the years, especially post pandemic. Design & content by: Aileen Green. More information can be found by visiting the 'SUP Medway Fb page.
DRY JANUARY-ARE YOU IN?Start the year fresh. Medway community members that are part of 'SUP Medway are encouraging you to pause alcohol use for the first month of the year. This trend started in 2012 and now millions of people across several countries take part in this annual health challenge. Design credit: Carolynne Benedetto
