I have witnessed countless acts of kindness and generosity over the last several weeks. I have seen you pick up trash, help other students, make a teacher laugh, etc. And despite your super high-end-of-the-year energy, you are all a pretty good bunch of kids\u00a0and you make me smile. And a huge shout out to our middle school students\u2014thank you for welcoming our new student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;Thank you, Stephanie Lennox, for being our leader for our annual Creek Clean-a-Thon.
