Today is National Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day! We're celebrating Chet Burch and Chad Ralston! They are the district maintenance technicians and help keep our buildings running day-to-day! “Chad and Chet are worth their weight in gold. They are given multiple projects, working together to create a beautiful space. One of the projects they have finished is the eSports room at ISMS. They both have their own sets of skills, and they learn from each other. These fellows have put their heart and soul into their work, which shows. As a corporation, we are very blessed to have these two guys on our team,” said Vicky Borders, WCCS Corporation Custodial Trainer.

ISMS student, Gianna, competed in the Indiana Miss Amazing pageant, which is a pageant for individuals with special needs. Gianna was crowned the 2025 Indiana Miss Amazing Queen in the Junior Teen Division and will represent the state of Indiana at the National Miss Amazing pageant in Chicago. Her platform was “I was adopted 2 years ago and I love my new family very much. I want to show other kids who have been in foster care and kids who have disabilities that they should believe in themselves and not let people tell them something different.” We love celebrating our eagles in and out of the classroom! Congratulations, Gianna! Best of luck at the National pageant #ExperienceWCCS #WCCSRealtionshipBuilders
