Congratulations to Mrs. Patricia Boomer on her retirement! Mrs. Boomer has been with Staunton Schools for two and a half years; however, she has spent many years working as a paraprofessional in the public school system. We wish her all the best in retirement!

Staunton Families: Tonight the school district had to cancel the boys home basketball game due to a threat that was received by the Staunton Police Department. Administrators worked with staff to quickly and safely clear the campus. The building was then secured and locked down while the Staunton Police Department investigated the threat.
Upon further investigation it was deemed by the police department that the threat was not credible. Out of an abundance of caution for student and staff safety the school district will have a police presence on campus tomorrow.

We celebrated the 100th day of school yesterday!
Mrs. Moore's kindergarten class dressed up and displayed some "100s" artwork.
Mrs. Larsen’s English class and Mrs. Joyce’s kindergarten class shared their love of reading by enjoying some books. Reading brings us together in the best ways!

This past weekend, School Board President Dr. Jain and teachers Jessica Larsen and Brianna Bohlen had the privilege of meeting and hearing the story of a Holocaust survivor, Gittel Burns, who resides right here in Staunton.
Along with author Lisa Johnson, Gittel shared her incredible story of resilience and courage, including her time in the Shanghai Ghetto. Gittel and her father, Walter Berger, moved to the United States and befriended Staunton's own Henry and Linda Makler, eventually settling in our great community. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of our strength and the importance of standing up against hate and injustice.
We are grateful to Gittel for sharing her experiences and to our staff for continuing to seek meaningful ways to connect with and learn from our community's history.
Let us honor voices like Gittel’s by continuing to promote understanding, compassion, and education.

Across the country, in our communities, we share everyday moments with our neighbors, family, coworkers, and friends. We go to work or school, the grocery store, or the gas station. It's easy to overlook these routine moments, but as you’re going about your day, if you see something that doesn't seem quite right, say something. By being alert and reporting suspicious activity to your local law enforcement or school officials, you can protect your family, neighbors, and community.
