On Friday, our incredible school psychologist, Rachel Vachon, was honored with the School Psychologist President's Award for our district. Rachel was acknowledged for her excellent leadership in the profession, her resilience, her dedication to her coworkers and students, and for uplifting those around her.
So proud and so well-deserved!

Our Fuel Up to Play 60 crew showed up bright and early this weekend to volunteer at the St. Luke's FitOne Half Marathon! These amazing students ran two water stations with the help of Mrs. Wright, Mr. Hoogendoorn, Mrs. Janke, and Mrs. Marcoux. They brought the energy and support to every runner who passed by!
And a huge shoutout to three teachers who laced up and ran the race themselves! Way to go Mr. Ancheta, Ms. Dougan, and Mr. DeHaas!
