Today is School Lunch Hero Day! We can’t begin to express our gratitude for all that our cafeteria staff does for our school community.
Today at the elementary campus was yet another example of just how incredible they truly are. Each week, our Character Council spends time helping in the cafeteria, and no matter the task, they jump in with willing hearts and helpful hands. One of our goals for students on the council is to grow servant leaders—leaders who understand that the best leadership comes from humility and a willingness to do whatever is needed to help a community not just function, but thrive.
Our cafeteria team has been so impressed by their efforts that they wanted to celebrate them in return. On a day when we are especially recognizing them, they chose to serve once again—surprising our Character Council with a special pizza party as a thank-you.
It was a meaningful reminder of how special our school community truly is. To all of our cafeteria staff across both campuses—thank you. You are such an important part of what makes our school a great place to be.

Today we celebrated the students recognized at yesterday’s 3rd quarter awards! These students earned a special pizza celebration with the principal for excelling in spelling (K–2), science (3–6), music, or for demonstrating outstanding character in our core value focus this quarter—humility, courage, and integrity. Congratulations to all and thank you ALWAYS to Wynne Pizza Hut for hosting us so well each time!
What a good Friday it is when friends like these remind us how much we have to be grateful for!
