Orange County Superintendent Dr. Stefan Bean shared his thoughts on gratitude in a holiday message to OCDE staff and the community on Tuesday.
In a brief video, Dr. Bean expressed his appreciation for local educators, support staff, families and the Orange County Board of Education, which appointed him to the role in June. He also highlighted the importance of family and togetherness during the holiday season.
“This time of the year, I’m reminded of the holidays I had growing up, surrounded by my large immediate and extended family,” he said. “My mom was an incredible cook who created a warm, inviting and celebratory atmosphere that brought us all together. I wish that same warmth and togetherness for all families across Orange County.”
