Moms wear a million hats. They set our schedules, build our brains, clean up our messes, and are there with open arms at the end of the day. They are jugglers and masters of logistics— showing up as biological moms, adoptive moms, teachers, grandmas, aunties, and caregivers in all forms. The way young people are cared for and supported shapes the relationships they build and the choices they carry with them throughout their lives. Mother figures are all around us, and they lift us every day. Here’s What Mother’s Cards Don’t Say. Moms, we see you, and we are grateful for you!

Our elementary students had an amazing time at our Freedom Fun Run as we honored the brave veterans who have served our country. 🇺🇸 It may have been a little chillier than usual, but that didn’t slow our students down one bit! They ran their hearts out, had a blast, and showed so much enthusiasm and determination throughout the event. We are so thankful for the sacrifices our veterans have made and were proud to dedicate this fun day to honoring them. ❤️
