Whether it’s bitter cold, blazing heat, or something in between, we appreciate Mrs. Megan Dahms, Mrs. Katie Griffin, Mrs. Meg Ramlow, Mrs. Tammy Routson, Ms. Stacy Sharp, Mrs. Shanda Still, Deputy Matt Crouch, elementary principal Mr. Michael Newcomer, the ESC staff, and others for making sure our students arrive safely each day.

Their dedication, consistency, and care don’t go unnoticed. They greet students with smiles, positivity, and upbeat music and play a significant role in keeping our school community safe and the drop-off line moving every morning.

We appreciate them for standing watch, no matter the weather, and for the important work they do every day!
