Greetings, Valley View Rotary family and friends!!!
Thank you for your continued support of La Crosse Roads Charter School at Logan High School. It was exciting last week to witness the doors of opportunity that await the five graduating seniors that we recognized and celebrated! This truly is a significant milestone in their life journey, and it was excited to hear their interests in continuing to pursue knowledge and learning in this next chapter of their lives.
"Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom." - Oprah Winfrey
