🚨 Our school just leveled up in emergency preparedness! Over the past three days, five dedicated staff members completed intensive Emergency Medical Response training with Wellton Fire Department Instructor Mark Rivera Jr. Through rigorous classroom study and realistic hands-on scenarios, our team is now equipped to respond quickly and more prepared to an emergency that might occur on campus or on a field trip. Given that our nearest fire department and ambulance are about 40 - 45 minutes away, having trained responders right here makes all the difference for keeping our students and staff safe. We're so grateful for Mark's expertise and our team's commitment to this important training. This couldn't have been possible without Wellton Fire Department's Instructor Mark Rivera Jr., Wellton Firefighters and Chief Mark Rivera.

🇺🇸 Mark your calendars for July 3rd at Dateland School as we celebrate America's 250th birthday! This year's program honors Mr. Robert "Bob" Sloncen, a true pillar of our community. 🌟

What started as a one-year adventure for Bob and his wife, Jill, became a lifetime of service and dedication. Over 50 years, Bob became the face of East Yuma County, earning recognition in the Arizona Rural Schools Hall of Fame and Yuma County Education Foundation Hall of Fame. His distinguished military service as a Commanding Two Star Admiral in the United States Coast Guard Reserve speaks volumes about his character and commitment. ⚓

But beyond the accolades, Bob's greatest titles are the ones closest to his heart—Husband, Son, Brother, Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, and cherished Friend to countless people. His legacy is woven through the lives he's touched and the community he's helped build. 💙

Join us in celebrating Mr. Sloncen and the remarkable life he's lived in service to so many. We can't wait to see you there!

🎓 Mark your calendars!
