School Board Recognition Month |
In honor of the school board's commitment to our students, schools and communities, January is once again designated School Director Recognition Month.
School directors, who are unpaid, devote countless hours to the challenging and complex responsibilities of board business, including adopting policy, voting on budgets, evaluating school security issues and reviewing hiring decisions. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic has added an additional challenge to school boards, as they determine how best to provide for the needs of students and their families in this new environment.
Mr. Ed Case, Mr. Brad Hart, Ms. Lupe Kasper, Dr. Amy Kennedy, Ms. Steph Kocher, Mr. Mike Martin, Mr. Sean McCrae, Mr. Jay Nigrini and Mr. Bob Schneider are among the more than 850 school board members in the state’s 171 local school districts being recognized this month for their service.
We would like to publicly thank these locally elected officials for their over 55 years of combined service to our community!

Wilson Theater Company Presents: Pride and Prejudice |

This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this Pride & Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life.
The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?!
Purchase in-person or online streaming tickets HERE for February 3rd, 4th, and 5th @ 7:00 PM.
