District & Community Updates

Dear Friend of Wellness:

The countdown has started...we are ONLY 21 days away from closing a school year that has been filled with challenges affecting our focus on the Whole Community, Whole School, Whole Child (WSCC). Despite the challenges, there are many silver linings that cannot be forgotten.

Let us know that we all contribute to the well-being of ourselves, our surroundings, and our entire world. Nothing in this life should be taken for granted. Keep pressing on in doing good and NEVER GIVE UP!

Continue being a beacon of LIGHT

for all the children

and each other...

let's grow STRONGER together!

Be healthy and safe ~ Paula
