Director Hixson visited CHMS to recognize a TEAM that has been hard at work this summer. Mrs. Sherry Price, principal of CHMS stated “This amazing custodial team came together this summer to make a huge impact on the organization and cleanliness of CHMS. They have come together as one team to help restructure our school facilities so that the resources are organized and work can be done more efficiently. They all took great pride in the areas they cleaned and waxed this summer, working around summer school, but still making sure everything was ready by the time school started. We are very grateful for our custodians and the pride they take in our building. It is because of them that we have a clean, safe and pleasant environment to work.” Thank you CHMS custodial team!

Bus drivers are often the first and last school representative a student sees each day. Their role is more than transportation—it’s about care, consistency, and connection.

Director Hixson visited VHS to recognize a TEAM that has worked so hard over the past year for our students. Mr. Josh Castle, VHS Assistant Principal stated, “Our geometry teachers at VHS have grown a tremendous amount as a group and have shown commitment to collaboration and the PLC process as a whole. They have gone from meeting during collaboration times, because that was the expectation, to now working together constantly. They have been seen in the hallways together working and discussing next steps and strategies. Their work and commitment has led to a well-structured and positive environment within the geometry department and I am excited to see where they take our student success.” Mr. Taylor attributes success to the ladies he works with and said he couldn’t do his job without them. This is what true collaboration looks like! Thank you VHS Geometry Team!

Director Hixson visited SMS to recognize a TEAM that has been hard at work this summer and into the school year. Mrs. Karen Bear, principal of SMS stated “This is our wonderful custodial team. They are absolutely amazing and have worked (and continue to work) incredibly hard to make our building and grounds better. They take care of our teachers and other staff members by helping in any way they can. They never say no to a request and often drop whatever they are doing to make themselves available. They had our school open for re-entry for our teachers this summer by the end of June-that's record time! They are absolutely outstanding with our students and parents alike. They have the very best and most friendly disposition. I cannot say enough good things about this trio, but they are truly fabulous in every way. We are truly blessed to have them as part of our team at SMS!” Thank you SMS custodial team!

Attendance in early grades builds a foundation for students in later grades. Students gain positive habits, strong academic foundations, and confidence to succeed throughout school. Research shows a direct correlation to chronic absenteeism and reading levels in 3rd grade!
