District Spotlights
Junior Achievement STEM Summit
Our high school was excited to host the Junior Achievement STEM Summit on Tuesday, April 9th! All of our 9th grade students participated alongside students from Greenwood High School. The incredible Junior Achievement staff and volunteers provided a fun, educational day filled with learning about different careers in STEM from industry professionals. Thank you to our high school staff, especially Assistant Principal Dan Peck, for putting together this fantastic day for our students!
GIANT Feeding School Kids Program
On Wednesday, April 10th, GIANT Food Stores presented our district with our total from the 2024 Feeding School Kids program. Enola Assistant Store Manager Katie Peirce revealed that our total funding this year was $11,207.53! That total is nearly $3,000 more compared to last year!
This funding is made possible by our community members who rounded up at the register at our local GIANT store in Enola. We are thankful for this generous funding and to all who donated, and we look forward to our continued partnership with GIANT!
