"Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else." — Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers Neighborhood) JCPS had many wonderful and dedicated retirees gather for this year's retirement celebration. There were many words of encouragement and thanks, but the common advice was to embrace the end of their careers and enjoy the beginning of a new season of life. Here's to say thanks one more time for your many years of dedication and service to our children... Thank you!

Today is Flag Day! 🇺🇸 It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.
