Daily Bulletin
| Independence High School Tuesday, February 8, 2022 |
Good morning, Falcons! Many of you went to school in the Panama Buena Vista School District prior to high school - their current superintendent, Katie Russell, is the first Black and female superintendent in the district’s 145-year history! She told KERO News, "It's so important that you go after your dreams and persevere, even when there are blocks in your way. There's always going to be people that say you can't do it, but it's all about the importance of yes you can." What an amazing leader in our community!
If you’d like to contribute something to honor Black history, such as a poem, song, artwork, or essay, please submit a video, photo, or document to Mrs. Heiss via email. The deadline for each week’s News from the Nest episode is the end of the day on Monday. Have questions? Please contact Mrs. Heiss in the Activities Office.
