Did you know that American Education Week is to be celebrated November 18th - 22nd? (Now you do!) This is a week set aside to honor education employees for their dedication to providing quality instruction to all students. Wednesday, November 20th is set aside specifically for paraprofessionals and how important they are to any school. Our Blue Jay paras are good eggs and the best in the nest! Thanks for all you do in your many roles around our schools. We couldn't do it without you!
