We are incredibly proud of our students who showed true Panther Pride as they transitioned to two different schools today due to a water main break. Their resilience, positive attitudes, and commitment to learning were nothing short of outstanding!
A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers and supportive parents for working together to ensure our kids continued to thrive academically. Our Panther community truly shines in moments like these—and today was a perfect example of that!
