March, 2024 Forward March!

Welcome to the Park City School District (PCSD) podcast for March 2024, where we're excited to spring forward with updates, recognitions, and insights into the vibrant life of our schools and community. 

This episode aligns with the features of our March newsletter, accessible on pcschools.us under the "News and Media" tab. Let's dive into the enriching content planned for you:

Construction and Operations Update: Mike Tanner, our Chief Operating Officer, brings us the latest on construction and operational enhancements across the district. His insights ensure we're kept in the loop on the environments where our students learn and grow.

School Social Workers Week: In a special recognition, we chat with Sam Walsh, the longest-serving Social Worker in our district, representing the high school. Sam's dedication to our students' well-being is truly inspirational.

Meritorious Budget Award: Randy Upton, a name synonymous with fiscal responsibility in our district, talks (albeit a bit reluctantly) about earning the Meritorious Budget Award for another year. Randy's humility contrasts with his pride in this significant achievement.

National Board Certification: Liz Thompson from Ecker Hill takes us through her journey of recertification as a National Board Certified Teacher. Her story, highlighted during a recognition event at the Capitol, is a testament to our educators' commitment to excellence.

Spring Testing: Drew Frink, our Chief Information Officer, reminds us of the importance of spring testing. He encourages our community to support students as they "Rise" and "Aspire" to achieve their best in the upcoming state assessments.

Women's Celebrations: This month, we also celebrate the remarkable women in our district. Eric Esquivel, FACE Director, introduces us to Eva Montejano, the lead Outreach Coordinator serving at Trailside. Eva's work exemplifies the impactful roles women play in our educational community.

A Special Limerick: Stay tuned until the end for a delightful "Luck of the Irish" limerick, a unique addition that promises to bring a smile.

Celebrations in the News: Don't miss the "Celebrations in the News" section on our website, where we highlight accomplishments shared by local media. From state champions in swimming and debate to wrestler Sav Smith's achievements, we have much to be proud of.

In closing, this episode of the PCSD podcast underscores our commitment to empowering education and strengthening our community. Together, we are always learning, always growing. Thank you for tuning in to share in these moments of celebration and progress within the Park City School District.
