DISTRICT & COMMUNITY UPDATES

Dear Friend of Wellness:



On behalf of the District's Wellness Promotion Task Force (WPTF), we want to thank you for attending our most recent hybrid Wellness Celebration: ‘Mission Possible…Educate, Affirm, Inspire’ on Friday, May 5th. This wonderful celebration spotlighted many accomplishments and celebrated internal and external stakeholders focusing around the Whole Community, Whole School, Whole Child (WSCC) culture.


We have so much to honor this month as we close this school year within the next 9 days…our special teachers, our dedicated students, our committed overall staff members, and our supportive parents/guardians that are involved in the academic journey of their students.

 

With this message, we want to take time to salute our talented, committed, dedicated students...as we know that their daily sacrifices have not gone in vain, and their futures will shine. We acknowledge and celebrate each of them as they move up a grade, or like our Seniors, step to soar independently into new journeys. Our fifth graders will be moving into middle schools, our 8th graders will be moving into high schools, and our amazing Seniors definitely will be embracing new dreams and endeavors.

 

Nothing in this life should be taken for granted as we take one step at a time. We are all in this together…we all contribute to the well-being of ourselves, our surroundings, and our entire world.


Let's keep pressing on 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 ~
