Attention families and friends of Luray High School: This afternoon we evacuated the high school due to smoke inside the building. Following a full evacuation and emergency response, fire officials determined that a furnace had malfunctioned. They were able to remedy the situation quickly and we were permitted to safely re-enter the building. We appreciate the swift response by local emergency services. We are also proud to say that our students and staff handled this situation beautifully. Nicky Clark Principal Luray High School

Wednesday, April 27, 2022, is Administrative Professionals Day, but we are celebrating our unsung heroes all week long. Ms. Elizabeth Reed--Page County Technical Center Ms. Reed has been with Page County Public Schools for the past 21 years. She has served in many roles during her time with the school system including long-term substituting positions, assistant, and currently bookkeeper/ administrative professional. When asked what advice she would offer her younger self, she said, "Never ever, stop learning. Learn a trade, get a certification, a degree, just do something that fulfills you and makes you happy. " Having earned her bachelors degree as an adult, she says she is ready to go back to school again to see what else she learn. Her greatest pleasure is her granddaughter and she's expecting another grandchild soon. She says, Every time my granddaughter calls me "BeBe" it makes me smile and laugh like I never could have imagined. What a blessing!" Thank you, Ms. Reed, for all you do for Page County Public Schools. You are appreciated.

It's School Library Month! Help us celebrate! Next, we have Ms. Elizabeth Kite, Stanley Elementary School Librarian. What's your favorite thing about being a school librarian? "My favorite thing about being the school librarian at Stanley Elementary is getting to work with every single learner in the student body, all 365 of them! She says, "We learn so very much about the world, about who we are, and about who we hope to become through stories. It is an incredible feeling and a powerful responsibility to be a part of that." Thank you, Ms. Kite, for exposing our children to the world of reading and all there is to learn. You are appreciated. p.s. Ms. Kite chose to use a recent portrait of her drawn by a 1st grader at Stanley as her picture. LOL
