This week in Cougar Nation, we had the opportunity to celebrate some truly special members of our community. We honored our incredible paraprofessional staff, whose daily dedication, support, and care help our campus run smoothly and ensure our students are successful. We also celebrated our MTS, Mrs. Kinney, for the meaningful work she does to inspire a love of reading in our learners—her impact is felt in every classroom. As a reminder, there will be no school tomorrow in observance of Good Friday. We hope you enjoy a restful and meaningful day with your family!
Good Friday--NO SCHOOL--Friday, April 3rd.
