🍎 October is Principal Appreciation Month! 💙

October is a special time to recognize and celebrate the principals who make a difference in the lives of students, staff, and families every day! Being a principal means wearing many hats—from supporting teachers and encouraging students to solving problems, building relationships, and creating a positive school environment where everyone can learn and grow.

Our principals work hard behind the scenes and throughout each school day to ensure our students feel safe, supported, and ready to succeed. Their leadership, dedication, and commitment help make our schools special places to learn and grow.

To celebrate, we asked our principals to answer a few fun “Would You Rather?” questions! 😄 Want to learn a little more about the people leading our schools? Click here to get to know Mr. Torkelson and Mr. Mills beyond the principal's office!

💙 Thank you to our principals for leading with heart, inspiring others, and helping our Chargers shine every day!

Thank you to Charger PTO for funding our 2nd grade trip to Remington Nature Center in St. Joseph, MO last week. We loved learning about reptiles of Missouri, watching the fish feeding, taking a museum scavenger hunt and a nature walk by the Missouri River.

🚌 School Bus Safety Week! 💙🤍

Our best safety plan starts with our amazing bus drivers! They are often the first and last school staff members our students see each day, and they play an important role in keeping our Chargers safe. Whether it’s the daily ride to and from school or a trip beyond our district, our drivers work hard to make sure every student arrives safely.

Thank you to our dedicated bus drivers for the care, responsibility, and commitment you show our students every single day! We appreciate all you do to keep our Chargers safe! 💙🤍
