Senior Night for our Webber softball and baseball athletes.
The last day with staff is cause for celebration for many reasons. Today we celebrated these two. Our buses run around 12,000 miles a year. Ray served 9 years as a driver. Durenda served 31. Approximately 480,000 miles have been driven by these two. More importantly is the kids they transported. As a driver, you are the first person our kids see each morning. Also, as teachers change year to year, drivers remain the same and have a lasting positive relationship with their children. It's tough to put words as to how important these people are to us. Thank you for everything. we wish you the best.
Ms. Durenda’s family came in this morning to welcome her as she arrived from her morning route. After 31 years of safely transporting our students, she is retiring. Thank you for your dedication and service to the district, our students and community. Enjoy your retirement!
