Welcome message: The library has been busy over the past six weeks and has welcomed students from all campuses.  Books checked out:  Elementary: 2,898  Secondary: 1,033  Featured student: A photo of Isaiah Villarreal, a high-school student working in the library through an Education and Training class.

It says the library has had many Pre-K, kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade students participate in storytime, including some who joined virtually.

It is National Principals Month, and we are rolling out the red carpet for the absolute captains of our ship: our incredible Itasca Wampus Cat Principals & Vice Principal! 🐾🎓

This month, we celebrate the campus leaders who:
Master the daily juggling act of morning drop-offs, budget meetings, and cafeteria monitoring without breaking a sweat.
Somehow stay smiling after a full day of answering the question, "But why am I in trouble?"
Work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure our schools are safe, successful, and full of Wampus Cat pride.
It really is a great day to be a Wampus Cat when you have leaders like this at the helm. Thank you all for your unwavering dedication, leadership, and school spirit! 🙌💛🖤
