Happy Unity Day! 🧡

Today, let's celebrate what brings us together and stand against bullying. Unity Day is all about showing that we are stronger, kinder, and more vibrant when we include everyone.

Bullying thrives in silence. Let's make noise by wearing and sharing orange to show our commitment to a world where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.

Day 2 of School Bus Safety Week focuses on Safe Stops and the Danger Zone 🛑🚌.

The most critical time for students is when they are getting on or off the bus. This area around the bus is known as the Danger Zone because the bus driver may not be able to see children there.

National Principals Month

Time to celebrate our unsung heroes! 🎉

Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day, and we are shining the spotlight on our incredible Custodial Services Team.

They are the indispensable backbone of our schools, working tirelessly—often before the sun rises and long after it sets—to ensure our facilities are safe, healthy, and welcoming for every student and staff member.

From rigorous sanitation and maintenance to setting up for every assembly and event, their dedication is the foundation of our positive learning environment. Thank you for your unwavering professionalism and commitment.

Please drop a quick "thank you" to your school custodians and cleaners today.
