Today, our district had the privilege of taking part in a meaningful moment that connects the present with the future. Alongside Dr. Moore’s Cabinet, School Board Vice Chair Peggy Jones, and community leaders, we participated in the creation of a time capsule that will be opened 50 years from today. Inside are our hopes and dreams for the future of our students, our schools, and our community, along with photos of our current School Board members. One day, the children of our community will open this capsule and discover what we believed was possible for them. We hope they see a community that cared deeply about education and worked together to create opportunities for generations to come. A heartfelt thank you to Mayor John Cotugno and Councilman Aaron Vos for bringing this special event to life and giving our community the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.
As we prepare to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday, please note that all School District of Indian River County district offices will be closed on Friday, July 3, in observance of Independence Day. Offices will reopen on Monday, July 6.
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend with family and friends.
Then join us on Saturday, July 4, for the USA All Day City of Vero Beach Independence Day Parade. The parade begins at 10:00 a.m. on 14th Avenue, and the School District of Indian River County is proud to be part of this community tradition. We hope to see you there as we celebrate 250 years of American independence together.
Happy Independence Day from the School District of Indian River County!
