We will have more information on Summer Reading in the next couple of weeks. It is the time of year when we...
4 has been anything but usual in the terms of how we go about our daily lives.

Graduation ceremonies were a little different this year due to COVID-19. Each school still found a fun way to honor their seniors on graduation day. Chinook celebrated Drive-in Movie style while Harlem had a parade, and Hays celebrated outside on the Football Field. Each school added their own unique twist to the event, and all styles were something the class of 2020 will always remember. Congrats Class of 2020!...
