Celebrating a need in the Topeka Public Schools

Millie Murphy recognized many years ago the need to help Topeka Public Schools children feel their best and that is why today, a room at Quinton Heights Welcome Center was dedicated to her to support the needs of our school children.

Thank you to Mrs. Murphy's family for making the trip to Topeka to celebrate her and her dedication to the children in the Topeka Public Schools.

Fall Festivities at Topeka Public Schools

Yesterday Topeka Public Schools across the district held fall festivals. I visited them throughout the day. Here is a look at a few of the parties and the parade of costumes.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe evening.
