In the August School Board meeting, Nabholz Employees Victor Martinez (Not Pictured) and Kris Davis, Peake Job Site Superintendent, were presented a Badger Pride Award. They were nominated by the Peake Elementary School Faculty and Staff who wanted to extend their heartfelt thanks to Mr. Davis and Mr. Martinez for their invaluable assistance during ALL the transition to the new Peake building. They especially wanted to express their appreciation for stepping up during the dismissal time on the very first day of school and selflessly offering their help. We are grateful for the kindness they showed the adults and the students while helping that day.
