Today marks the last day of the year for our incredible teachers in McDonald County Schools. 📚🎓 They came together for their annual end-of-year celebration, and what a celebration it was! 🥳

This year, we bid farewell to two exceptional individuals who have made a tremendous impact on our district. 👋🏼 Dr. Mark Stanton, our long-time Superintendent, and Assistant Superintendent Joy Hardridge are retiring. 🌟 We had the opportunity to shake their hands, give hugs, and express our heartfelt appreciation for their many years of dedicated service. 🤗
We also had the chance to recognize all our retiring teachers. We wish you the very best as you embark on this exciting new chapter of your life. Enjoy every moment and embrace the adventures that lie ahead! ✨
For our returning teachers, we hope you have an incredible summer filled with relaxation, rejuvenation, and plenty of memorable moments. You deserve every bit of it! ☀️🌴
