Yesterday, after wrapping up the 2025–2026 school year with the kids, we were able to surprise our wonderful superintendent, Traci, with a delicious retirement lunch filled with lots of laughs, conversations, and shared memories.
Traci has been with Ashley Schools for the past 13 years and has done so many wonderful things for our district. While we are happy for her and excited to see where retirement takes her, her contagious laugh and warm smile will truly be missed in our hallways.
Congratulations, Traci, and thank you for your years of dedication, leadership, and care for our students, staff, and community. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter! 🐻💙💛🐻
