📚💼 Happy School Administrative Professionals Day! 💼📚
Today we celebrate the amazing administrative professionals who are the heart of our schools. From the front office to behind the scenes, your hard work, patience, and dedication help keep everything running smoothly so our students and staff can thrive.
You greet each day — and every student, parent, and teacher — with a smile, and you handle every challenge with grace. Whether it's managing schedules, answering phones, supporting staff, or simply being a calm and steady presence, you make an enormous impact.
🌟 Thank you for all you do to keep our school community strong. We appreciate you today and every day! 🌟

🚌💛 Happy National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 💛🚌
Today, we honor the dedicated school bus drivers who do so much more than just drive. You’re the first smiling face our students see in the morning and the last one they wave to in the afternoon. Rain or shine, early mornings or snowy roads — you show up with care, patience, and a steady hand.
Thank you for the responsibility you carry each day, the relationships you build, and the safe journeys you provide. You are a vital part of our school community, and we’re so grateful for everything you do.
👏 Here’s to our amazing bus drivers — we appreciate you more than words can say! 👏

On Wednesday, April 9th, the junior honor society members travelled to Northwestern Elementary and Westside Primary School to read to the students and present them with their books.
