The last month has been challenging for many of our Farmington family members. During this time of loss and grief, I am so grateful for the support given to those families who are in need of your thoughts and prayers. And while the love I have witnessed from our community is not at all surprising during these hard times, it has been very inspiring. Watching all of you come together with the care and kindness you have displayed makes me proud to serve you as the Activities Director. A very heart-felt thank you to those inside and outside of our community who have been so supportive. Jeff Otto Farmington Central CUSD #265 Activities Director
