First off we would like to say congratulations for achieving this huge milestone! You probably didn't have the chance to say goodbye like you would have wanted and we know it has been hard to be isolated from your students, staff, and peers. Regardless, we wanted you to know just how much the District appreciates your years of dedication. Because of your service the District, community, and our students have been changed
For Good
. Thank you!

MAKE SUMMER MEMORIES
The sun is shining and it's time to get outdoors, but you don't want to be in a large crowd. Maybe create a summer fun bucket list...activities don't have to be extravagant, memories are made with time spent together.
- Hike a new trail
- Camp in a treehouse, no treehouse? Set up a tent in the backyard.
- Go to a drive-in movie
- Have a water balloon fight with sponges in the backyard ( cleaning the balloons out of the grass is never fun!)
- Fill a kiddie pool with dawn dish soap and water....I PROMISE, LITTLE KIDS LOVE THIS!!!
- Make a bird house or a bat house
- Go fishing and learn how to clean a fish
- Take a road trip to somewhere you have never been. Maybe follow route 66 to see the blue whale?
