Page County Public Schools would like to extend a sincere “Thank You” to all First Responders for their heroic efforts during the recent wildfires. We know that it could have been so much worse if it hadn’t been for your tremendous effort and determination to protect our community. Thank you for being our “Hometown Heroes'' in the face of such devastation. We would also like to thank all of the residents of Page County and other areas who stepped up to volunteer or provided food, water, and other items in support of first responders and those in need, as well as those from outside agencies and organizations that came to assist. Your support of our community has not gone unnoticed. We are all deeply grateful!
