THANK YOU to the AgriVision staff in Macedonia for spending time at our middle/high school campus this week! 🌳✨

Their team worked hard, cutting down volunteer trees along the fence line and trimming up trees around our grounds, and it has made such a positive difference in how our campus looks and feels.

We’re grateful for their partnership, time, and willingness to invest in our school and students!

Research shows that students who miss more than nine days of school per year are more likely to have difficulties staying on track to graduation.

What families can do:

✅ Make school attendance a priority
✅ Talk about the importance of school at home
✅ Stay engaged with your child’s teachers and school

Showing up for school greatly impacts a student’s academic success, even as children grow older and more independent.
