We celebrate; Elke Marchincin, our Crossroads cafeteria manager. She is our school lunch hero. Students made a poster and signed it to show their appreciation for all she does to keep everyone fed and healthy.
The School Lunch Hero poster says: Some heroes wear aprons instead of capes. They serve you pizza and some grapes. Our cafeteria crew work hard all day to give you energy to learn and play. So, leave a note, big or small to show appreciation for them all.
Quote of the Week
"If you can't be the pencil that writes someone's happiness, be the eraser that helps remove their sadness.:"
Be lead worthy. May 2026 theme is Integrity.
Integrity is the ability and willingness to live with honesty and excellence. People who act with integrity make a choice to do the right thing, no matter who is watching. Integrity is the foundation on which we build relationships and trust.

THERE ARE SIX BRANCHES OF THE U.S. MILITARY:
Each branch has its own active-duty and part-time components.
Each branch varies in service commitment, location, and how its members contribute to the overall mission of protecting our country.
All components are on the same rank-based pay scale.
The Army is the oldest branch of the military; the Space Force is the youngest.
The first women enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces around World War I.
Military children are resilient, brave, and serve alongside their families every day.
Staff and students wore red to acknowledge military family
members & troops who are currently deployed.
Thank you to everyone that participated in our Month of the Military Child Spirit Week. More fun things to come.
