Our hearts are with Cindy Stoll, paraprofessional at MPCUSD 23, and husband David after a house fire last night. We are incredibly thankful to share that everyone is safe.
Many in our community have already reached out asking how they can help. At this time, both the Grade School and High School offices are accepting monetary or gift card donations to support the family as they navigate this difficult time. The school offices are open from 7:30am until 3:30pm.
A donation box will also be available at today’s home Topper baseball game at the concession stand.
Thank you for continuing to lift the Stoll family up in your prayers and for showing the compassion and generosity that make our community so strong.

We missed two VERY important days last week while we were on Spring Break—Paraprofessionals Day and School Librarian Day—and we don’t want that to go unrecognized! 💜💛
Our paraprofessionals go above and beyond each and every day. Their patience, dedication, and care make such a difference in the lives of our students, and we are so proud and thankful for everything they do.
And a special shoutout to Mrs. Charron, our amazing school librarian! She pours her heart into our library and our students, always going the extra mile to create a welcoming and engaging space for learning.
We appreciate all of you more than words can say—thank you for all that you do! 📚✨
