On behalf of Sacaton Elementary School District #18, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to our students, families, and community members for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
As we pause to celebrate the holiday season, I want to personally thank our students, teachers, staff, and community for your hard work, dedication, and diligence throughout the first semester. Your continued support and commitment to education play a vital role in the success of our schools and the growth of our students.
We hope this holiday break provides you and your loved ones with a restful, peaceful, and joyful time together. We look forward to the beginning of the second semester and welcoming our students back to school on January 6, 2026, refreshed and ready for continued learning and success.
Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. Best wishes to you all for a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season.
