Huge D2E shoutout and THANK YOU to our amazing administrative assistants Mrs. Saylor, Mrs. Pfaff, Mrs. Hernandez, and Mrs. Torman! To our incredible secretaries... thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it. You are the heartbeat of our school, the calm in the chaos, and the steady presence that keeps everything running smoothly. From the first phone call of the day to the last student who needs a helping hand, you handle it all with grace, patience, and kindness. You are problem solvers, listeners, organizers, and so much more. You support our students, families, and staff in ways that often go unseen, but never unappreciated. The care you show and the relationships you build make a lasting impact on everyone who walks through our doors. We are so lucky to have you. Thank you for all that you do, today and every day. ❤️🤍
