It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and we’re taking a moment to recognize the people who make a difference every single day.
From the lessons that stick with us to the encouragement we needed at just the right time—teachers shape more than classrooms. They shape lives.
Think back for a moment…
Who was the teacher that made an impact on you?
Drop their name in the comments and tell us how they made a difference.

Today, we celebrate our incredible cafeteria staff for School Lunch Hero Day!
Every single day, they do so much more than serve meals. They greet students with a smile, learn names, and make sure our students are fueled and ready to learn.
Thank you for the care, the kindness, and the work you put in each and every day for our students and schools.
We appreciate you more than you know!

Riley Elementary 5th graders got creative in art class this week!
Students learned about self-taught artist Laurel Burch and her love of painting colorful, expressive cats. After exploring her style, students followed a guided drawing and began painting their own unique versions.
A big thank you to Bobe’s Pizza for donating boxes that were turned into mini easels—giving students a fun and creative way to bring their artwork to life.
Check out some of the work below. Students will continue working next week to add details and finish their masterpieces. We can’t wait to see the final results!
