The Americus Lodge #109 was at Northern Heights this afternoon to surprise art teacher Jake Jones with an Exemplary Teacher Award. Mr. Jones was nominated for setting a high standard in leadership, scholarship, integrity and citizenship.

I would like this opportunity to address a mailer that was recently distributed in North Lyon County. I have taken several phone calls and personal visits, asking me if this mailer was sent by USD 251. The mailer was NOT sent by USD 251 and I will provide more information in the May School District Newsletter.
Thank you for your continued positive support of USD 251.
