School is Back Tomorrow!

Schools begin tomorrow, which means heavier traffic and more school buses on the road. Please slow down and stay alert.

🟡 Yellow flashing lights on a school bus mean it’s slowing down — and so should you.
🔴 Red flashing lights mean the bus has stopped — and you must stop too.

Do not resume driving until the red lights have stopped flashing and all children and pedestrians are safely out of the roadway.

Give yourself a few extra minutes this week for your morning and afternoon commute and help keep our students safe!

Throwback Thursday: Christmas Parade Fun!

We’re still smiling from last week’s Christmas Parade! With more than 100 entries, including our City Council, the streets were filled with holiday cheer. From festively decorated floats and spirited semis to stilt walkers, bands, cheerleaders, motorcycles, side-by-sides—and of course an old favorite, Santa riding in on a firetruck—it was a parade to remember! 🎅🚒

Be on the lookout next October when registration opens for the 2026 Christmas Parade. We can’t wait to do it all again!

Milestone Celebration!
On Friday, we celebrated the milestone anniversaries of two valued team members.

Street Superintendent Ricky Laramee reached his 20-year milestone this quarter, and Facilities Manager Norris Akins marked 15 years of service.

We are grateful for their long-standing commitment to their coworkers, our community, and the residents we serve. Thank you both for your dedication and leadership!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who took part in last night’s Christmas Parade! It was a festive evening made even brighter by our community.

But a special shoutout goes to the incredible crew who manned posts and intersections, braved the chilly night, and kept everything running safely so our community could enjoy a beloved holiday tradition.

You can always spot them in their bright green jackets, vests, and light wands — the unsung heroes who keep the parade moving!

Thank you for all you do!
