Congratulations to Kelly Huss, paraprofessional, on her retirement last month! Kelly has a gift for helping student and staff and is just a genuinely kind, intelligent, and hard-working person striving for the best every day. Her expertise and skills are going to be greatly missed by so many in this district. We're excited for her to be able to spend even more time with her grandkids going forward, and we know she is as well. Thank you sincerely, Kelly, for the tremendous work you have done over many years. You have been a definite asset to the Comet Team!
