Thank you to Mrs. Reiland, Horizon Elementary Librarian, for demonstrating our Core Value of Community through a creative celebration of The Dot! From creating artwork for a giant hallway gumball machine to activities that encouraged creativity, courage, and problem-solving, Mrs. Reiland gave every learner a chance to participate and make their mark.
Most importantly, she created an experience that brought students together to encourage one another and celebrate each other’s successes. Thank you, Mrs. Reiland, for helping build a community where every learner belongs and every contribution matters!

Mr. John Delle is an excellent example of our Core Value of Integrity because he always strives to improve his practice, accepts and reflects when he identifies an area he’d like to develop professionally, and ensures he owns it if he feels he's made a mistake. He is also a core member of the East Community for always taking the time to write an encouraging note, lend a helping hand, or pass on sage advice learned from years of teaching experience. Thank you, Mr. Delle, for the verve you bring to East Middle School!
