While our schools are quiet for summer break ☀️, this hardworking team is behind the scenes keeping our campuses looking their best 🌿 and preparing them for the year ahead. Their dedication never takes a break, and neither does their school spirit! ⭐

Students had a wheel-y exciting day as representatives from #TitanTransfer trucking stopped by to share what it takes to keep America moving. Campers learned how trucks transport freight across the country and discovered the many careers that make the trucking industry successful - from drivers to dispatchers and beyond.
The highlight of the visit? Students got the chance to climb inside the cab of a real semi-truck for an up-close look at life on the road!
Hands-on experiences like these help students connect classroom learning to real-world careers while sparking curiosity about their futures. That's one of the many reasons we love our public schools - they create meaningful opportunities that inspire students to dream big!
