🌟 New Staff Spotlight 🌟
Please help us welcome Morgan Baumhover to East Sac County Community
School District!
Morgan joins the district as our Data Manager at the District Office.
Originally from Manson, Iowa, Morgan earned her degree from Iowa State
University and is beginning her sixth year in education. Before
joining East Sac County, she spent five years as a secondary Family and

develop valuable life skills and prepare for future success.
She is excited to return to a smaller district environment, build
meaningful connections with students, staff, and the community, and
continue growing in her new role.
Outside of work, Morgan enjoys spending time with family and friends,
cooking, and making memories with her husband.

🎓 Preschool Graduation Celebration! 🎓
Last Thursday evening, East Sac County proudly hosted a Preschool Graduation Ceremony for all of our students who will be entering Kindergarten or Transitional Kindergarten next year!
Students were honored by friends and family, received their diplomas, dressed up in the cutest caps and gowns, walked down a red carpet, and even performed a few songs for everyone in attendance. Graduates also received a summer swag bag and their very first class ring — a Ring Pop to enjoy as they left! 🍭💍
After the ceremony, families enjoyed photo opportunities with Raider backdrops, refreshments, and plenty of time to celebrate this exciting milestone.
We are so excited to welcome these amazing students for full days next year. Congratulations to the East Sac County Preschool Graduates of 2026! 🎉
A very big thank you to our Preschool Teachers, donors, and volunteers who helped bring this new ceremony to East Sac County. Your hard work and dedication made this a night to remember! ❤️🖤
