National First Responders Day honors those who dedicate their lives to saving others. While most people may run away from danger, first responders bravely rush toward it. According to the Department of Homeland Security, there are approximately 4.6 million career and volunteer first responders across the nation. These individuals include firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics, and 911 operators. In times of emergency, they are the first to arrive on the scene, selflessly answering the call to assist others, often at great personal risk.
Reminder there is No School tomorrow October 18.
Today is National Boss's Day, and we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our boss, Dr. Barry, for being such an incredible leader!
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our custodians who tirelessly ensure that our schools remain clean and safe for all students. Their hard work often goes unnoticed, but they play a crucial role in keeping everything running smoothly. We couldn’t achieve this without their dedication. They truly make our buildings shine, and we take great pride in that.
