Superintendent's Update
May 24, 2024
FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT'S DESK
Hello Auburn Families and Staff,
I would like to take a moment to reflect and recognize the upcoming Memorial Day Holiday. As you know this is a time for remembrance and gratitude. On behalf of the Auburn Public Schools, I would like to thank all of the Auburn community members who have served in the military or who are actively serving in the military. I would also like to express gratitude to the many families who have lost loved ones who were serving to protect our freedom. Let us not forget the freedoms we enjoy today, came at great cost and sacrifice. We must remain committed to these freedoms for all because together, we are all America.
At this time of year, I also want to take a moment to thank those who work to keep our community safe on a daily basis. Thank you to all of the firefighters and police officers for their commitment to our safety.
Have a safe holiday weekend and thank you for your continued support of the Auburn Public Schools.
Best,
Beth
