We’re gearing up for a whirlwind of a week—Monday, April 7 through Saturday, April 12!
Between State Assessments, the Protect Young Eyes presentations for both parents and students, assemblies, and Prom on Saturday, there’s plenty going on. And don’t forget all the baseball, softball, track, tennis, and golf in between!
Take a look at this sheet, compare it to your calendar, and make sure you don’t miss a thing! 👉 https://secure.smore.com/n/dxnkf

Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!
We’re so thankful for ours. Their care, patience, and support make a difference every single day! #larnedpride


This has to be one of our favorite Super Chat interviews yet! Nurse Cindi shares what it’s really like to care for kids every day—and it’s so much more than Band-Aids.
Can you believe our nurses have already documented 4,573 health office visits this year across 3 buildings? And we still have 9 weeks to go! That number doesn’t even include scheduled meds, screenings, or chronic care.
Give it a listen. There’s so much to learn (and love) in this episode! #larnedpride
