This week’s Board of Education meeting was filled with special moments as several staff members were officially approved for tenure. The evening began with an extra meaningful touch as the children of one of the teachers receiving tenure helped lead the Pledge of Allegiance to open the meeting. Congratulations to all of our staff members on this well deserved milestone and thank you for the dedication, care, and commitment you bring to Lyons every day.
