Dear Trojan Families,

As we head into the final days before Thanksgiving Break, we are especially grateful for our students, families, and staff who make our district such a strong and supportive community. We hope this week is filled with positivity and connection, and we look forward to returning after the break refreshed and ready for a great finish to the semester.

Go Trojans! 💛🖤
