Superintendentโs Memo โ February 2025
Breckenridge Community Schools Families,
As we move into the second half of the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the progress we have made in improving our districtโs facilities through the bond work that began in the summer of 2021. This journey has been one of patience, resilience, and commitmentโqualities that define our incredible Huskie community.
We recognize that this process has not been without challenges. In addition to contractor shortages and resource availability, the effects of COVID-19 created further obstacles that impacted timelines and construction efforts. However, through it all, our staff, students, and community remained supportive and understanding. Your patience has been invaluable, and we are grateful for your trust in the vision of making Breckenridge Community Schools a better place for learning and growth.
Now, as we look at the finished results, it is clear that these efforts have significantly enhanced our district. From upgraded classrooms and improved athletic facilities to safety enhancements and clean and updated learning spaces, these changes benefit not only our students and staff but also the broader Breckenridge community. Attached, you will find photos highlighting some of the key projects completed through the bond.
We deeply appreciate the continued support of our community in ensuring that Breckenridge Community Schools provide the best educational experience possible. Your investment in our students' futures is making a lasting impact, and we are excited for whatโs ahead.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Together, we are building a stronger future for our Huskies!
