"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination." ~Tommy LaSorda ย
Dear Breckenridge Community,
As the Superintendent of Breckenridge Community Schools, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the parents and families who contributed to making our Halloween traditions truly memorable for our students. The BES pumpkin contest, along with the parade and parties, created a fantastic atmosphere that our youth will cherish for years to come.
I also want to take this opportunity to request your continued support for our district's programs. It is partnerships like these that enable our students to thrive and growโacademically, athletically, and socially. No matter which area you support, your involvement is greatly appreciated.
Thank you once again for your invaluable support. Educating our students is truly a community effort, and I am grateful to have such an engaged and supportive community.
Warm regards,
Wade Slavik
Superintendent
Breckenridge Community Schools
