"I think that's foundational in terms of engaging students, motivating students, and creating a place where they feel valued and respected as learners and want to come each and every day," said Drew Schutz, incoming principal at Valverde Elementary.

About 250 people from Arrow Electronics helped the school get ready for the next semester starting in August.
