September has been a busy month filled with engaging activities and celebrations, and I enjoyed connecting with many of our families at Family Fitness Fun Night on Wednesday.
Over the past two weeks, students participated in Constitution Day and Celebrate Freedom Week activities, observed peaceful remembrance and reflection during the district's recognition of 9/11, and kicked off celebrations for Hispanic Heritage Month, honoring the rich cultures and contributions of the Hispanic community. We also joined in the Topeka Public Schools Foundation's annual community breakfast, marking 38 years of dedicated service to our students.
We look forward to kicking off our Homecoming festivities later this month, beginning with Highland Park High on September 27, followed by Topeka High on October 4 and Topeka West on October 11. Additional details are included in the newsletter below.
Topeka Public Schools is committed to the safety of all students and staff, and as a reminder, safety measures in our schools include locked doors, cameras, a buzzer system, in addition to our own police department. We also partner with the Topeka Police Department, who has been providing our staff with additional training opportunities. If you have any questions about safety measures, please contact your respective principal.
Thank you for your continued support.
