It's GAME Day!!!
As we head into Riverboat Days weekend, I want to wish our Yankton School District staff, students, and families a safe and enjoyable three-day weekend!
Riverboat Days is a wonderful tradition that brings our community together, and this year is especially meaningful for my wife, Marge, and me as we have the honor of serving as the Captain and Belle of Riverboat Days. We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to celebrating alongside so many familiar faces from our schools and community.
Whether you are enjoying the parade, activities in the park, time with family and friends, or simply a little extra rest, I hope you have a fun and memorable weekend.
Thank you for a great start to the school year. Enjoy Riverboat Days, enjoy the three-day weekend, and we'll see everyone back at school on Monday!
