In honor of International Firefighters Day yesterday, Angie Lopez and Audra Bilow from our district office visited the Tubac Fire District to personally thank their team for all that they do to protect our community. They delivered donuts and a certificate signed by Superintendent Verdugo and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Lunderville as a small token of appreciation.

Thank you to Fire Chief Mr. Ben Guerrero, who also serves as our Clerk of the Governing Board, and his team for welcoming us, and for their dedication, courage, and unwavering commitment to keeping our students and families safe each and every day.
