Staff Salutes
This month our School Nutrition Teams were recognized for their part in ensuring a successful day at school for our students. This team has offered breakfast, grab-and-go, and lunch for students, but since the pandemic, has also packaged meals, delivered meals, and supported field trips. They also make sure that when students are at home, the staff team has a healthy breakfast so that we can actively engage in learning! Thank you for all you do to help us come to work/school ready to serve/learn! You definitely earn the "Breakfast Hero Award!"
Celebrating the service of our outgoing board members...
A special thanks to outgoing Board Members Chad Gartzke and Stephanie Bunton whose leadership helped to guide us through consolidation and the pandemic.

Both have taken turns serving as President and Vice President since the consolidation in July 2018.
