A Woodland family sent in a photo and positive praise for their bus driver today. Thank you for taking the time on a very hectic morning to send in a happy note! 💚 "I wanted to say thank you for taking such wonderful care of the kids today and having their safety as a priority. Walking up to the bus I could feel the warmth coming from the bus so the kids were comfortable and greeted with a smiling bus driver."

At the Bilingual Parent Advisory (BPAC) Meeting last week, Nicasa Behavioral Health Services gave a presentation called "Prevention Talk" to teach parents and caregivers about trends in drug use and the dangers of substance use in youth. The presentation featured a mock teenage bedroom simulation to show parents what to look for in their child's bedroom called "Stay Out of My Room!" While the parents attended the presentation, the kids completed winter crafts with some of our Dual Language teachers. It was a great turnout!
