Community Vision Night Monday (01.26) for Sumner-Fredericksburg School District
Sumner-Fredericksburg School District officials will host “Community Vision Night” in the high school choir room Monday (01.26) night.
Superintendent Ryan Cunningham encourages stakeholders to hear the district’s vision for building a Solid Foundation and Strong Future.
Other topics include the $50,000 STEM Best award to the middle school, the new CAPs program, and what’s next for the Future Frontiers charter recently school approved by the State Board of Education.
Cunningham says the charter school will give students experiences they might not get as part of the regular Pre-K to 12th grade curriculum.
Cunningham adds Future Frontiers isn’t restricted to Sumner-Fred students.
The Community Vision Night program, from 6 to 7:15 pm, will also include a Q&A session.
For those who can’t attend in person, a Google Meet link is also available on the school district website and Facebook page. The link is also included below.
Virtual option: Google Meet — meet.google.com/ggt-tqyi-aze
