Today is School Principals’ Day! Celebrated annually on May 1st to recognize the importance of principals and all the work they do for the betterment of the schools. We thank our two Principals, Mr. Scandrett and Mr. Freeman , for everything they do for the schools they serve. Their jobs are often underestimated but we appreciate you!

Our food service workers are school nutrition professionals. We celebrate their dedication, care, and hard work with School Lunch Hero Day, today, May 1st 2026. We recognize the vital role these team members play every day—nourishing students, supporting learning, and making a difference for every child who walks through the cafeteria doors. THANK YOU!
