Thank you Mrs. Warden, you made some of my schooling memorable in a good way… I am certain that my children will remember Mrs. DeCorsy in much the same way. I have dropped my kids off to their class and she is often at the front greeting the kids with a smile, Thank you Mrs. DeCorsey, I am certain it is well deserved and you will leave positive educational memories in the minds of our children and this is a very difficult thing to accomplish.

Back to page topHow very exciting for Mrs. Decorsey to be among such an awe-inspiring group of administrators, as well as rubbing elbows with the nation's most powerful political brass. What a great opportunity for her to show JES, Jordan and Minnesota off and also to learn the successes and failures of other districts around the nation.
We are blessed with a great leader who inspires teachers, parents and children to do and be better.
