There are several events coming up. As always, please refer to our main calendar page (bookmark this!) for more information about these and other events/announcements.
Please share our public events with others!
THIS WEEK
- Tuesday, Feb. 21, is the Salt River Schools Education Board meeting beginning at 5:15 p.m. These meetings are always open to the public and we’d love to have families participate and learn about our Division’s decision-making process.
- Wednesday, Feb. 22, is the SRES Sunflower Run from 8:45-10 a.m. along Highland Avenue (students run from Center Street to Country Club Drive and back). SRES families are encouraged to walk/run alongside the students or cheer on participants from the sidelines. Check out this short video from November’s Turkey Trot Fun Run to get an idea of how these go. (The more folks we have out there cheering on runners/walkers, the more fun we all have!)
- Thursday, Feb. 23, is the Salt River Schools Superintendent Community Forum in the ALA Lecture Hall from 5:30-7 p.m. We’ll serve dinner (while supplies last, so get there early!) and have a meet-and-greet with Dr. Herne during the first part of the event; then we’ll review site/program goals and the latest student data. See flyer below.
