At Thorburn Education Center, the Business Unit added some sparkle to the season—and to their supervisors—during a beloved holiday teambuilding tradition. Staff from Finance, Medicaid, Facilities, and Pupil Accounting dressed up their bosses in imaginative holiday costumes and paraded through the building to share laughter, joy, and a moment of festive connection.

While the parade brought fun and flair, it also spotlighted the everyday impact of these vital teams.

  • Finance keeps budgets balanced and operations running smoothly.

  • Medicaid ensures students receive vital services with accuracy and care.

  • Facilities maintains safe, welcoming learning environments for all.

  • Pupil Accounting keeps enrollment and attendance data accurate and up to date.

Behind the scenes, these departments work year-round to support students, staff, and school communities across the region. Moments like this are a fun reminder to pause, connect, and celebrate the people who help make the magic happen.
