Today, our Kindergarten students took a special moment to honor and celebrate Ms. D and show their appreciation for everything she does each day!
We also want to recognize all of our amazing custodians at Washington County Elementary School. From keeping our classrooms and hallways clean to making sure our school is safe, welcoming, and ready for learning each day, your hard work does not go unnoticed.
Many of the things you do happen behind the scenes, but they make a BIG difference for our students and staff every single day.
Thank you for taking such great care of our school and our Panther family!
