The Red Cross is facing a national blood crisis. Without more donors, hospitals may have to make tough decisions about which patients receive transfusions & who must wait. You can help. No matter your blood type, your donation is critically needed now: rcblood.org/donate
March is National Reading Month and we're celebrating by sending volunteers to read to every student in second grade! Today's visit was to Concord South Side Elementary School where volunteers from the district office talked with students about their future goals, discussed overcoming adversity, and then read a book together. #ConcordPride #ConcordReadsTogether
Concord Junior High students and staff gathered Friday morning to celebrate as the 2022 Make A Wish fundraising efforts kicked off with a theme appropriate for the return of this much-anticipated event -- “Concord’s Back!”
To date, Concord has donated more than $430,000 to the Make A Wish Foundation and granted wishes to dozens of local children who have life-threatening medical conditions.
“Since 1995, Concord Junior High School has been granting wishes through fundraisers every other year (excluding 2021). No other junior high school -- or school in general -- in the nation has raised as much money or granted as many wishes as we have,” said Heather Brunswick, Concord Junior High teacher and one of three event organizers. “Our goal is to continue this tradition in an effort to grant wishes of local children this year.”
Today is National Read Across America Day!
At Concord, we believe that literacy skills shape the future of our students. In addition, literacy is the foundation to lifelong learning that will be essential to all students as they succeed in a fast-changing world.
Parents, if you're looking for ways encourage your child to pick up a book, give "flashlight reading" a try. Turn off the lights and light up the page with a flashlight as you read together. #ConcordReadsTogether

This dazzling show transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past.
Show times are Thursday, March 3 and Friday, March 4 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 6 at 2:00 p.m. The Sunday matinee features a Royal Tea Party for little princes and princesses at 12:30 p.m. The tea party will have photo opportunities, dancing, crafts, and more.
Good luck to our student performers! #ConcordPride
