Wascher's Winter Market
All students at Wascher were invited to the second annual Winter Market this morning. The market is a way to build community and send children home for the holiday break with some additional cheer.
Students all received a shopping bag and were able to select from an array of gifts on the last day before break. See more photos on the MSD Facebook page!
Warm Wishes
As we approach the holiday season and the end of the year, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to each one of you. The holidays are a time for reflection, appreciation and togetherness. I want to extend my warmest wishes to you and your families. May this festive season bring you moments of joy, love and connection.
Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. It is truly a privilege to work together in shaping their future. As we look forward to the upcoming year, let's continue to foster a strong partnership in the best interest of our students.
Wishing you a peaceful and joyous holiday season filled with laughter, warmth and cherished memories.
Warm regards,
Superintendent Brockett

Shoutout to Dragon Leadership
