"Our new district theme, 'Belong Here, Achieve Anywhere,' reminds us of something powerful: that combination of belonging and aspiration. When people feel they belong… and are encouraged to reach higher… that is when the magic happens—whether you are a child or an adult. " –Superintendent Entwistle. We welcome students back to school in just one week, so district staff gathered today to celebrate and prepare for the new year!
