🎉 Back in August, we drew names of lucky teachers for a special prize: an afternoon off with an administrator stepping in as their substitute! Recently, our elementary principals, Mrs. McGurk and Mrs. Keith, took their turn—they stepped into Mrs. Hagerman’s and Mrs. Stahlecker’s middle and high school classes, giving these teachers a well-deserved break. It looks like everyone enjoyed the change!
We’re so grateful for our dedicated teachers and supportive administrators! #larnedpride #bettertogether
