Welcome to Geary County Schools USD 475’s Weekly Newsletter. We have so many awesome stories happening every day within our district and here is where we will share and celebrate the accomplishments of our students and staff.
#ThrivingThursday
Congratulations to last week’s #ThrivingThursday recipient, Fort Riley Middle School student Sara! Sara is a wonderfully kind and thoughtful young lady. She genuinely cares about those around her and wants everyone to be happy and makes an effort to accept everyone for who they are. Way to #ThriveIn475, Sara!
