This week’s School Board meeting featured the annual celebration for retiring staff. Retiring staff were presented with a “Golden Apple,” by board members to commemorate their years of service. 

The Grandhaven Elementary after-school choir, directed by Tegan Johnson, performed at the meeting and all attendees were feted with cake in honor of those who served the students of the McMinnville School District.  Retirees include:
