Re: Summer Lunch
Dear Parents and Community Members,
As the school year wraps up this week, we want to take a moment and let you know how much we appreciate you for your efforts in helping to keep our breakfast and lunch staff safe. We are so grateful that you participated in coming to the Elementary School and to the bus stop locations to receive breakfast and lunch. We served close to 700 meals every day during the COVID-19 shutdown! Thank you for being willing to adjust with us this past school year.
We regret to inform all of you that we cannot provide meals during the summer months. Currently, we are having a hard time getting food delivered, and the outstanding food preparation staff cannot serve the summer meals at the current rate or the way we have been. We are sorry that this service will not be available this summer.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Kent
Public Relations Coordinator

Re: Graduating Class of 2020 & Be the Light
Dear Parents and Community Members,
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has made an impact on everyone’s lives. It has brought about a time of reflection for many. An event that has been sweeping the country is “Be the Light” campaign. Schools across the nation have turned on their football field lights for one evening for 20 minutes. This gesture represents an opportunity to reflect on our students, in particular our 2020 graduating class.
In last night’s School Board Meeting, the Board gave direction for our school district and community to participate in this event.
We have listed a few ideas that all of us may want to reflect upon during this community event sponsored by the school district.
It is important to note that we are asking that there be no public gatherings at or near our football field. We invite those interested to drive by or park (remaining in your cars) as you reflect and celebrate. Thank you for your help and your compliance with this request as we celebrate together.
Sincerely,
Rich Moore

Re: Graduating Class of 2020 & Be the Light
Dear Parents and Community Members,

Schools across the nation have turned on their football field lights for one evening for 20 minutes.

In last night’s School Board Meeting, the Board gave direction for our school district and community to participate in this event.
We have listed a few ideas that all of us may want to reflect upon during this community event sponsored by the school district.
- Sorrow and prayers for those who have been impacted at many levels by the pandemic.
- At a school level, our athletes in baseball, softball, and track and field have not been able to compete in these events that they have worked hard and hoped to be able to participate. Going into the season, these teams showed great promise and were sure to be State competition bound. We want to recognize their efforts and the loss of their ability to compete so far this season.
- Our music program will most likely not be able to hold their spring concert. The students have put their time and effort into developing these skills to enrich themselves and our community.
- We also want to recognize the 2020 graduating class. They have forgone many of the events and celebrations that are associated with the end of their senior year. While we do not know at this time how their graduation will be affected, we do want to celebrate the education efforts they have made for the past 13 years.
It is important to note that we are asking that there be no public gatherings at or near our football field. We invite those interested to drive by or park (remaining in your cars) as you reflect and celebrate. Thank you for your help and your compliance with this request as we celebrate together.
