We are deeply saddened by the loss of Alicia Jeffers, beloved principal of Diamond Lakes Elementary School.

Mrs. Jeffers was a shining light in the lives of so many students, families, and staff. Her leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication to education and her community will never be forgotten.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, the Diamond Lakes Elementary community, and all who were impacted by her incredible life and legacy.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

With heavy hearts, we share with our Diamond Lakes Elementary family that our beloved fearless leader, Mrs. Jeffers, has passed away.

Mrs. Jeffers was more than a principal, she was a guiding light, a source of strength, and a champion for every child, every staff member, and every family who walked through our doors. Her love for DLE ran deep, and her impact will forever be woven into the heart of our school. She led with grace, compassion, and unwavering dedication, always putting students first and believing in the greatness within us all.

We know this news brings deep sadness, and we want you to know that you are not alone. As we return from Spring Break, grief support services will be available on Tuesday for our students, staff, and teachers. We encourage everyone to lean on one another during this difficult time.

Even in our sorrow, we will stand together, lifting each other up, just as Mrs. Jeffers always lifted us. The Diamond Lakes Elementary family is strong, united, and filled with love. We will honor her legacy by continuing the amazing work she believed in so deeply.

Together, we will carry her light forward. 💎

🎉 WE DID IT… AND THEN SOME! 🎉

We’re excited to share that we surpassed our Annual Campaign goal, raising an amazing $53,738!

We had a great time celebrating this milestone at our Annual Meeting this past Tuesday, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our board members, donors, Annual Meeting attendees and parents.

Because of YOU, we can continue providing scholarships, meals, and impactful youth programs that change lives every single day.

And while we celebrate this moment… the work continues!

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the future of our community.
