Proud of our HS scholars! #HornetPride
Hornet Nation,
Eighty years ago today, brave soldiers, airmen, marines, and sailors stormed or protected the beaches of Normandy, to continue the liberation of Europe from the tyranny of Nazism and fascism. More than 2,000 of them lost their lives that day.
Selfishly, it makes me think of my own father. He served in the 3265th Ordnance Company of the 615th Army Brigade, and benefitted from the heroic work done on June 6 and beyond. His company crossed the English Channel in November of 1944, and landed at Omaha Beach. As they made their way first to Paris, then on to Beaune, my dad said that the bombing and fighting had destroyed almost everything they passed along the way, except for some churches and the city of Paris. Other than my sisters and me, he always said that his army service during WW2 was the thing he was most proud of.
Please feel free to honor someone who served with a comment, and be sure to watch this short video honoring some who were able to make the trip to Normandy and are being celebrated today on those same beaches.

Every year, our baseball team hosts a fishing derby for a fundraiser. We are aware it is the same day as the Budd Lake fishing derby, but the derby we host allows participants to travel to any public body of water they choose (“20 lakes in 20 minutes”). Please support us if you can! #HornetNation

After students departed today, we celebrated an amazing school year as an entire staff - with a "groovy" theme! We recognized 5 staff who have or will be retiring this year: Brenda Blain, Robin Bringold, Scott Haskell, Yvonne Scheider, and Matt Wyatt. We wish them well and thank them for their service.
Two other staff members were recognized (and surprised) by our education partners ar Communications by Design for their outstanding work. These awards consider nominations from across the state, and crazily, both the Administrator of the Year and Teacher of the Year were from #HornetNation. Congratulations to Andrea Andera and Heather Jensen, respectively.
As we head toward Thursday, our last day with students, think about doing one of these with or on behalf of your child. Thank a teacher, coach, or support staff member for the impact they have had on your child. #HornetNation
