This week, we wanted to give a special shout-out to a member of their team for #CSEW. Dennis Robinson, a Heat and Air Technician, has worked in the district for 42 years, and Monday, he will celebrate his first official day of retirement! We asked Dennis what he enjoyed most about his job, and he said “repairing things” with a huge smile on his face. We can attest to that!
Congratulations, Dennis! You will certainly be missed!

The Memorial Stadium track is open!
Please remember that it is spring sport season, which means that BJHS/EHS Track & Field and Soccer is in season. Both teams use the stadium at various times.
The track will be closed on Monday-Friday each week from 4-6pm due to track practice. ESD will host track meets on March 13, 14 and 16; the track will close for these meets.
