Remembering September 11, 2001

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the courage of first responders, and the resilience of a nation forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001.

In schools across our District, we take time to honor the significance of this day, ensuring our students understand the importance of unity, service, and compassion in the face of tragedy. As we reflect, we are reminded of the strength found in community and the enduring impact of coming together in support of one another.

We will never forget.

Today we celebrated Grandparents Day with sweet smiles and even sweeter treats! 🍩💛 Our Donuts with Grown-Ups event was the perfect way to honor the love, wisdom, and joy grandparents and caregivers bring to our school family. #connectedbycommunity #myIRA #spacebears 🚀🐻

These students were "Pawsome" this week and we were excited to recognize them during lunch! Thank you for being safe, helpful and scholarly. 🤩 #myira #spacebears 🚀🐻
