Join #StandUp4LR parents to welcome students back from holiday break at McClellan High School on January 3rd. We will meet before school starts and cheer the students on as they enter the building. Their new principal, Mr. Jackson is excited to have the community show his students some support.
Join us on the first day of school to welcome students back at Henderson Middle School. As students enter the building, they will have a cheering section- lines of parents, teachers, and community members to cheer them on...to show them they are loved and that we support them and Henderson.
