The dogs escaped the Dog Pound! Please help us find them! We’ve heard rumors that the bulldog and terrier will be visiting “Businesses with Bark” for 2 weeks at a time. Your job is to figure out which business they’re at, take a selfie with them, and email it to media@stauntonschools.org with the following information: - Name - Contact info (phone number or email address!) This will help us get the dogs back under control and give credit to those who helped us locate them. We’ll be sure to share any hints we receive to help you with your search; the first one is already below! You have until February 7th to get your pictures in. #BulldogPride #TerrierPride #LeadChallengeAchieve *By sending us your pictures, you’re giving us permission to publish them on our website and/or social media pages.

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. #BulldogPride #TerrierPride #StauntonPride #LeadChallengeAchieve

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. #SeeSomethingSaySomething
