Mrs. O’Connor’s 5th graders welcomed a special guest—Principal Gebbie, stepping in as the executive branch during a hands-on government lesson! Students proposed their own laws, and Madame President signed three into law while vetoing three others. Now it’s up to Congress (the class!) to attempt a two-thirds override. Amazing work by all our future lawmakers! 👏📜 #RockCreekElementary #CivicsInAction #StudentGovernment #FutureLeaders

🎉 Congratulations to Zach Schaal, July’s Employee of the Month! 🎉
Zach is the Director of Fiscal Affairs at the District Office.

Zach is originally from Twin, and the word that best describes him is hardworking. He would like to be remembered for his hard work and loyalty. Something most people don’t know about him is that he was the NAIA National Champion in football.

He enjoys golf and finds inspiration from his parents. He chose this career because he loves working with numbers, and his best day on the job is June 30th, when we stay under budget.

👏 Way to go, Zach!
