Why Give Blood?
Community Blood Center must collect almost 600 units of blood daily to meet the needs of area hospital patients. As there is no substitute for blood, we rely on volunteer donors like you to supply the life-saving blood and blood components to hospitals in Kansas and Missouri.

🍎🌟 **Celebrating Excellence in Education!** 🌟🍎
Please join us in congratulating **Melanie Vulgamott, Regional Teacher of the Year!** 🎉
Melanie was honored by the Northwest RPDC alongside a room full of regional educators in recognition of her outstanding commitment and dedication to her profession and, most importantly, to student learning. ❤️📚
Her passion for education, commitment to helping students succeed, and dedication to making a difference are truly worthy of celebration. We are proud to see Melanie recognized for the incredible impact she makes in the lives of her students and the difference she brings to education every day!
Mrs. Vulgamott states, "When I think about what defines me as a teacher, I think of these words; student choice and engagement. When students have choice in how they present their knowledge, I can see a fuller picture of their understanding of a concept. They can incorporate parts of themselves into their work and take great ownership of it. Through book choices, projects, writing pieces, reports, and presentations, I strive to give students both choice and voice in their learning. In addition, when students are genuinely engaged, they take greater pride in their work and are more willing to take academic risks."
👏 Congratulations, Melanie, on this well-deserved recognition! Thank you for your dedication to students, your profession, and the future of education!

Our Elementary Student Council is learning that leadership is about more than having a title—it’s about **serving others, showing respect, and taking pride in our school and country.**
As our student council members learn to properly **raise, lower, fold, and care for the United States flag**, they are gaining valuable lessons in:
⭐ **Responsibility** – taking their role seriously and following proper procedures
⭐ **Teamwork** – working together and communicating throughout the process
⭐ **Respect** – understanding the significance of the American flag and what it represents
⭐ **Leadership** – setting an example for their classmates through their actions
⭐ **Patriotism** – developing an appreciation for our country and the freedoms we enjoy
⭐ **Service** – giving their time to serve their school community
These may seem like simple tasks, but they are creating opportunities for our students to practice **character, responsibility, and leadership in action.**
We are proud of our Elementary Student Council and the example they are setting each day! 🇺🇸❤️💙
**Learning to lead. Learning to serve. Learning to make a difference.**
