KCSD Superintendent Glen Szymoniak welcomed families and friends to the event, highlighting the lasting effect educators and school district staff have on a community. “The individuals we honor tonight have left an indelible mark on countless lives,” he said. “They invite curiosity and instill knowledge and foster a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Shasta Elementary School first-graders learned about the U.S. flag today (March 20) and received their own mini-flags to wave. The Klamath Falls Lions Club donated the 67 flags – one for each first-grader at the school. After learning about the history and meaning of the U.S. flag, the students took their mini-flags outside to watch while the school’s custodians raised a U.S. flag, state flag, and POW flag on the pole in the front of the school. The students recited the Pledge of the Allegiance as the flags were raised. This is an annual tradition for first-graders at Shasta Elementary School, said Principal Randy Rose. The Lions Club donates the flags each year. The lesson is given in the spring after a new flag is purchased for the school through student fundraisers. “It’s important that our students understand and respect our flag,” Rose said. “We are privileged to have the freedoms that we do.” A special thank you to our local Lions Club for making this lesson special for our Shasta first-graders.

Klamath County Transitions Program students created a beautiful sign for the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office. Students from the program traveled to the sheriff’s office on Vandenburg Road March 13 to deliver the sign. KCTP also opened up their mobile Jo2Go Coffee Cart for sheriff’s office employees and provided specialty coffees after the sign presentation. “I’ve been hearing about this sign now for several months, and it is gorgeous!” Sheriff Chris Kaber told the students and their program leaders. “Thank you!” The 3-foot by 4-foot colorful, acrylic pour painting includes the sheriff’s office logo. Crystal Renslow, a paraprofessional who works with the transition program, came up with the idea of an acrylic pour art project for students a few years ago. It was so popular the Klamath County District Office and nearly every school in the district asked KCTP students to create one with their logos. The district’s Klamath County Transition Program is specifically for young adults, ages 18 to 21, who are on individualized education plans. The focus is on work experience, independent living skills, post-secondary education, and community inclusion.
