January is School Board Appreciation Month
January 2022 marks the 27th anniversary of School Board Appreciation Month, a time to recognize the important contributions that school board members make to their communities. As citizens who serve students and educators, school board members face complex and demanding challenges. These last two years have been a testament to not just students’ and teachers’ abilities to adapt to their constantly changing environment, but also to school board members who devote countless hours trying to make the educational experience the best it can be in a time where normalcy isn’t always accessible. Now as never before, these dedicated individuals have been called upon to make the hard decisions as they strive toward the shared goal of helping students, grow, learn, and enjoy their educational experience. We thank you your leadership.
MLK Day, National Day of Service
Observed each year on the third Monday in January, Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrates the lasting legacy of the famed civil rights leader to our country and its citizens. Martin Luther King Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer. Our thanks to the students, staff, and neighbors who worked together on January 17th to help improve their communities and commemorate Dr. King’s legacy of service.
