Next week, we recognize Public Schools Week, which is an annual celebration that brings together school leaders, educators, parents & community leaders to recognize the importance of our nation’s public schools. Laurel Hill Elementary School welcomes every child, regardless of ability, race, religion, wealth, language, country of origin or needs. Our diversity is our strength. We are public school proud. Let's celebrate each other by taking a moment next week to say THANK YOU to our dedicated teachers and staff who serve our students with compassion and pride every day!
