May 3-8 is Teacher Appreciation Week. I have been astounded at the passion, commitment and compassion of our teachers throughout the District. They care so deeply for their students and go the extra mile trying to meet all of the separate needs of each one. We are fortunate to have such caring individuals working with our students. I honor the work they do on a daily basis, and appreciate each and everyone of our teachers. – Dr. Sally Storm, Superintendent
