April 19-25th is Administrative Professional Week! Please celebrate with us, the Kearsarge Regional School District’s Administrators!
A strong administration is absolutely essential for maintaining seamless day-to-day operations.
Administrative workers at all levels are recognized for their hard work behind – and directly in front of – the scenes, making sure things run smoothly throughout the entire company and supporting their staff in any way they can.
An administrative professional’s day is constantly changing. Organization is essential, but their flexibility and ability to handle the unexpected make them invaluable to any business.
A school administrative professional’s day is fast-paced and unpredictable, balancing organization with constant interaction with students, staff, and parents.
To our amazing administrative professionals: thank you for holding our schools together. Your hard work, professionalism, and positivity make a difference every day. Happy Administrative Professionals Day!

National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, voice and support to causes they care about. Their stories serve to inspire others to take action, to realize their power to make a difference, and be a force that transforms the world.
Interesting Facts about Volunteering
During the 1930s, the U.S. launched a large-scale coordinated volunteer effort to assist the millions of hungry, homeless, and unemployed people via relief efforts.
The year 2001 is proclaimed as the International Year of Volunteers (I.Y.V.) by the United Nations General Assembly.
Hurricane Katrina, Haiti's deadly earthquake, Indian Ocean earthquake, and tsunami; volunteers have been there through it all.
In 2020, as a result of the pandemic, the value of a volunteer hour witnessed an almost 5% boost.
Giving back to the community, and helping others makes us feel empowered, goal-driven, and fulfilled.
Service is about helping others, but it also comes with benefits for service. New skills, increased social interaction, self-esteem boost, recognition, awards, and a whole lot more.

National Public Health Week
READY. SET. ACTION!!
The American Public Health Association champions the health of all people and all communities.
It’s a week to recognize that everyone should lead healthier lives, irrespective of where they live, work, or come from.
National Public Health Week channels the power of community for the greater good. Health is a fundamental right. It’s a matter of public concern and should never be an individual struggle.
It busts well-established myths around food and exercise. We have access to credible resources on diseases of all kinds. What’s more, it offers well-researched perspectives into equitable, inclusive public health (or lack thereof).
It’s hard to stay still when everyone around is crushing a run or workout! National Public Health Week motivates to make that first step towards a healthier lifestyle.
