Today we celebrated the ribbon cutting of our beautiful Marcella LeBeau Elementary! As community members, educators, and the LeBeau family gathered together, we were reminded of Marcella LeBeau's lasting impact on our community.

Ryman LeBeau, Marcella's grandson, called on us to uphold her loving soul and belief in the power of education as we prepare to welcome students next week. We are honored to continue the legacy of Marcella LeBeau!
