Hopefully, all of our community’s students are enjoying the last few weeks of summer vacation. Remember, we have wonderful public pools to cool off at.

Best of luck to all students who are starting practice for fall sports and marching band. Keep cool in the heat and stay hydrated.

And good luck to all of the students in our community who are heading off to college. Enjoy the experience of being on your own and learning new things.

Those four years will go by so quickly!
