Not even the rain could dampen the spirits of the teachers and staff, who smiled and enjoyed the morning as they were welcomed with announcements from Dr. Widenhoefer and morning beverages from Travelin' Tom's Coffee.

Teachers play a vital role in our schools and significantly impact students' lives. This week, please take a moment to express gratitude to a teacher who has made a positive difference for you.
