💛💙 Happy Substitute Teacher Appreciation Day! 💙💛

Today we celebrate some of the most dependable, caring, and flexible members of our school family — our amazing substitute teachers.

Whether they step in with short notice or plan ahead to support our classrooms, they bring patience, kindness, and a steady presence that keeps learning moving forward. Our substitutes don’t just “fill in” — they lift up, support, and care for our students and staff every single time they walk through our doors.

We are truly grateful for each of you who chooses to be part of our Kelso C-7 family. Thank you for loving our kids, supporting our teachers, and being an essential part of what makes our school so special.

💛 You are appreciated more than you know. 💙
