Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Teacher Appreciation Week, National Nurse Week
May brings us many opportunities to celebrate important members of our HSD community. 

Throughout the month, we will commemorate the rich heritage of Asian/Pacific Americans and the positive roles they have played and will continue to play in the history and future of the United States. This year’s celebration seems particularly poignant in the wake of anti-Asian violence in our country, and we appreciate the opportunity to highlight the multitude of ways Asian/Pacific Americans have contributed to the success and prosperity of our nation. 

The first week of May also marks Teacher Appreciation Week and National Nurse Week. 

Over the past year plus, our teachers and district nurses have been tasked like never before with the challenges of navigating a global pandemic and the ever-changing landscape it has brought. We are so deeply appreciative of your flexibility, ingenuity, tenacity, and dedication to the well-being of all students and families! Please accept our genuine gratitude this week and always!
