The group shared insights into their job, the educational path needed, and even gave our students a firsthand look at one of their impressive trucks!
We want to thank RG&E for their insights and for sparking our students' curiosity about career possibilities!
We want to give a huge thank you to Ed James, a true American hero and USMC Veteran who served in Vietnam, for joining us today to talk about the Honor Flight Program!
Ed, himself an Honor Flight recipient, shared his inspiring journey alongside his daughter Mrs. Vogler. Their firsthand account of the program is getting our students ready to write letters to the veterans who will be taking an Honor Flight later this month!
π Empowering our students is at the heart of everything we do! π
We believe that involving our students in decision-making processes is crucial, which is why today, with the guidance of our incredible PBIS Team, we met with our 5th through 8th grade students and got their ideas on what should be included in a new code of conduct for our middle school.
Our incredible students contributed their thoughts on what it means to be safe, responsible, and respectful in our school environment!
