This week is Classified Appreciation Week. Our dedicated and hardworking classified staff deserve respect and recognition and not just a passing note but true gratitude through deeds not words. Our classified employees are the backbone of our district and we cannot do the work of educating and nurturing young people without them. Students thrive thanks to our classified staff and they deserve so much recognition. Thank you OSEA Eugene Chapter 1!
