🍩 Doughnuts with Dads – What a Sweet Success! 🍩

We had an amazing turnout for our Doughnuts with Dads event! It was wonderful to see so many fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures join our students for a fun morning of smiles, conversation, and (of course) delicious doughnuts.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our school community #OneMcCormick

Today—and every day—we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible custodial and maintenance staff who keep our spaces clean, safe, and running smoothly. 💪🧹🛠️ From early mornings to late nights, they work behind the scenes to make sure everything is in top shape—often without the thanks they truly deserve. Your hard work, dedication, and attention to detail do not go unnoticed! THANK YOU for all that you do. 💙💼✨ You are the backbone of our buildings

We are so grateful for our McCormick County Education Foundation!
