In celebration of National Women in Construction Week, Hunzinger Construction Company visited Goodland Montessori and S.C. Johnson Elementary yesterday. Team members, including Horlick alum and Hunzinger Project Manager Meagan DeGroot, read construction-themed books to K-4 students and shared insights about careers in construction.
Hunzinger is currently leading renovations at Goodland Montessori and recently completed work at SC Johnson Elementary as part of RUSD’s 2020 Referendum, making this a meaningful and inspiring connection for our students. #YouBelongHere

Today is Internet Safety Day. Child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) is a horrific crime that targets some of the most vulnerable people in our communities — children and teens. Resources for education, prevention and intervention of CSEA can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/know2protect
If you know of an incident, you can report it at the bottom of any Know2Protect webpage, by calling 988 for crisis support or 911 for an emergency.
The attached list provides ten steps you can take to prevent CSEA and create a safe digital experience for your child.
