Letter to Editor; Thank you Michelle
The family of Michelle Mohlenbrock would like to thank her for her years of service on the District 840 School Board. Michelle ran and won her seat for school board in November of 2008, beginning her first term in 2009. This year is her final year in this position as she has chosen not to run again, serving 16 years on the board. Michelle initially chose to run for her seat because she wanted to learn more about why decisions were made and the processes behind them.
