Paraprofessionals, or paras, do a little of everything in schools. They support classes, are assigned to specific students in special education, support the general running of the school, and help supervise students. Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is a chance to put them in the spotlight and recognize the dedication they bring to students each day. Thank you to all of our paraprofessionals for your dedication to our students! We appreciate the hard work that you all do every day!

The Mountain Movers Unified Ski Team had a successful day at Granite Peak on Saturday! Lots of medals, smiles, and also lots of pride!

HUGE shout out to the adaptive instructors at Trollhaugen for making our team's dreams come true!
