Friday, May 8th marked my final day as Director of Bridges: Partners in Music. Starting June 1, I will begin a new position as Music Department Head for Chicago High School for the Arts. As a fervent proponent of Merit’s continuum, it has been my privilege to work towards that goal in the Bridges program where it all begins. If you are reading this blog, I know that it is because Merit’s mission is close to your heart as well. Since Merit is one of the community partners for Chicago High School for the Arts, I look forward to remaining in close touch with my Merit colleagues as part of a continuing effort to provide high quality arts training for young people in Chicago.
Thanks and smiles to all of you who have read, commented and contributed posts to this blog. Your encouragement and appreciation have meant a great deal to me! If the Bridges blog is something that you feel should be continued, please share this with Merit’s administration.
All the best,
Betsy
Betsy,
I want to say Congratulations on the new position but how awful that Merit will lose you. You’ve done such incredible things with the Bridges program and you will be sorely missed.
And I so hope that this blog remains active and a part of the Bridges fabric. It has been a joy to get these updates.
Best of luck, always.
Jim
