January is School Board Appreciation month and we'd like to take a moment to recognize that absolutely integral part of our district.
These five board members are dedicated every day to making our schools, our district and our community better. They take time out of their busy lives constantly and consistently to do whatever it takes to keep our kids and our staff safe, secure and happy, and our district healthy and moving forward.
Most importantly, their decisions , guidance and hard work makes it possible for all our district staff to do what we do best: nurture and develop lifelong learners who are knowledgeable, responsible and caring citizens.
Thank you, School Board! We couldn't do it without you!
Go, Bulldogs!
