Good Morning

It is with great regret that I announce that I am retiring from The Winston School . . . . . and Winston Science. I have anguished over this decision for many months, but numerous factors have led to me to believe that this is the appropriate time to leave.

It has been my honor and privilege to work with so many dedicated teachers over the years. You have my utmost respect and admiration for your untiring efforts to improve Science Education for your students.

I have also been honored to work with so many hundreds of thousands of students over these many years. I never tire of your enthusiasm for Science, or your energy to make “things happen.” Never give up your dreams!

I am delighted to say that Winston Science will continue through The Winston School. For information on this year’s events, please reference http://www.winston-school.org, or contact the Winston School (winstonscience@winston-school.org).

The Winston Science Web Site will remain online as a historical record of our 25 years of efforts to improve Science Education in Texas.

Best regards,
Dr. Lehman Marks
