🍕 Fun, Friends, & Future Readiness! 🎉

Over the last two weeks, our amazing vocational students have been hard at work cleaning, sorting, and prepping student devices and charging cables to make sure everything is ready for the upcoming school year. Their dedication and teamwork truly make a difference across our entire SEDOL community!

To celebrate the conclusion of another amazing summer work session and all of their hard work, we threw a well-deserved party complete with pizza, games, and lots of laughs.

To top it off, we had a very special guest stop by and join in the fun—our new Superintendent, Dr. Jennifer Thomas! Dr. Thomas jumped right into the celebration to meet the students, join the games, and congratulate everyone on a job well done.

Thank you to our incredible students and staff for making these past two weeks a huge success!
