I want to wish our students a safe and successful 2024-25 school year! Our kids are the future. We need to do all we can to ensure they stay on this path.

I hope you're all doing well. We have some warm days ahead, so let's remember to stay cool and hydrated. I am pleased to share that our state has joined the U.S. Department of Energies Better Climate Challenge.

This week's newsletter is filled with information, news, resources, and updates I hope you will find useful. From a pilot program underway offering rides to residents to anywhere in the district for $2 to the unveiling of a new playground at Flax Hill Park, there's something here for everyone to catch up on. Keep scrolling and have a great weekend!

I hope you're staying cool during these warm days. In this newsletter, I provide some helpful safety precautions when dealing with extreme heat. I also included relevant information about free meals for all children under 18 in our area. No child should go hungry. Not here.

I want to wish you all a fun and safe Independence Day.
