Today is Unity Day! Like many people across the country I'll be wearing orange today to show unity for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion and to send a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying.

Our paraeducators, bus drivers, secretaries, custodians, maintenance/grounds, child nutrition, technology, security and other trade and technical support employees are some of the hardest working people in our district.
