Good morning, Spartans! We have an important message for you from Supt. Miller today. Please visit the link below to view this message in its entirety. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!
"I do know that we don’t have to live another person’s experiences to empathize or care. We just need to listen, without bias or judgment, and allow our hearts to be moved to make change. We should genuinely listen to our fellow citizens and hear their stories. Seek to understand. Work with others in our community to help make our schools, our city, and our world a better place for every human being."
- Supt. Miller
