Today we recognize National Speech-Language Pathologist Day. Thank you to our speech-language pathologists for supporting our students every day. They help students build communication skills, confidence, and success in the classroom and beyond. Take a moment to thank them for the care and impact they bring to our schools.
Happy last Monday of the school year!
What a fun way to start the week by sharing this special tradition at Windrows Elementary School, where students return to visit and take photos with their former elementary teachers.
The impact our teachers have on students is immeasurable, and it is always meaningful to see those connections continue long after students leave campus. It was especially fun for former principal Mr. Lautenslager, along with Mrs. Battista and Mrs. Valasek, to reconnect with their former students.
Wishing everyone a wonderful last week of school!
