Dear USD 429 Students, Staff, Parents and Patrons:

As Thanksgiving Day and the Holiday season approaches, we hope this message finds you well! We have been thinking about you and are so thankful for the opportunities we have to work with your children. We do have a lot to be thankful for.  We do value our relationship with all of you and do not want to take it for granted. 

In this season of reflection and gratitude, we also wanted to take a moment to simply and sincerely say “Thank You!” for everything you have done, are doing, and will continue to do to help and support our students, our staff, and our wonderful school community.

We hope that you and your family have a safe, fun, fulfilling, and restful Thanksgiving break.

Sincerely,

Patrick E. McKernan

Superintendent of Schools

RAISE Kansas presented their STEMM Fire assembly to Troy High and Middle School on Monday, November 17. Presenters from the STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) area of the workforce offered students a glimpse into their job requirements and qualifications. Then, students had the opportunity to visit tables offering information on STEMM jobs, including the U.S. Army, civil engineering, and orthopedics. Thank you to Lindsay Schmidt and all of our STEMM presenters for taking the time to offer their insight to our students.
