Happy School Board Appreciation Month!

Thank you to our 73 board members for their dedication

January not only marks the beginning of a new year, it also signifies a time to recognize and appreciate vital members of our school community! As we celebrate School Board Appreciation Month, now more than ever is a wonderful time to recognize the crucial role that our board members play in our community and schools. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought forward challenges in education, and our school board members have worked tirelessly to turn problems into plans, and plans into action.

Our board members ensure that our students have the resources and support they need to prosper, and for that we want to recognize every member for their hard work.
