the year events such as field days and celebrations. The district is continuing the resurfacing of
some middle school tracks. Spring sports went well with lots of achievements. Prom was a
huge success. It was estimated that prom contributed about $15k to local economy — with
students pairing up into groups and choosing different restaurants to dine out prior to prom.

a community input meeting, and we will begin posting signs and social media posts inviting the

questions, and vote on their preferred playground amenities. The board will then make their
