June is Pride Month. Pride Month began as protests by LGBTQ people to confront discrimination in the fight for equality in the 1970s. Pride Month is an opportunity to show support and raise awareness about LGBTQ+ rights.
Today we wrapped up the 20-21 school year! Earlier in the week, summer packets were sent home. Students returning completed summer packets on the first day of the 21-22 school year will be placed in a drawing for a bicycle. Have a fantastic summer and we will see you in August 16th.
We made it! Congratulations to students and staff - today is the last day of school. Who is ready for summer?
