*District & Community Updates*

As we rise to the challenges given throughout this pandemic, we do not cease to discover our sense of direction, purpose, focus with intensity, and the incredible bonding and care we have gained for each other as we walk this path...a path we have never walked before.
These two weeks from May 26th through June 5th are very special as we celebrate our students...as they move up a grade or step to soar independently into life!
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 soaring into magical new journeys. We salute each of our talented, committed, dedicated, and precious students...as we are confident that their daily sacrifices will never go in vain, and their futures will shine.
Let's keep pressing on and...
Never Give UP!
