What a great day for our community!

We truly enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with the citizens we serve, especially our youngest ones. From handshakes and high fives to all the smiles in between, moments like these remind us why community connections matter.

Thank you to the Jeff Davis Public Library staff for inviting us to be part of yesterday’s Touch-A-Truck event. We are grateful for the chance to engage with our youngest citizens and build relationships that last far beyond the day.

⚠️School Status Update⚠️

After speaking with our local EMA and reviewing the latest update from the National Weather Service, we are cancelling school for students and staff tomorrow.

We apologize for the late notice. However, due to recent changes in the projected path and timing of the storm, and out of an abundance of caution, we feel it is necessary to cancel school.

We do not take these decisions lightly, and we appreciate your understanding.

School will resume normal activities on Tuesday, March 17.
