Our annual District 5 Summer Basketball and Volleyball Program is underway, giving hundreds of students from the Cartwright School District the opportunity to stay active, build new skills, and connect with their peers in a positive environment. Offered at no cost to participating families, the program provides local youth with structured activities during the summer while promoting teamwork, discipline, confidence, and healthy habits.
We are proud to continue supporting a program that brings students, families, coaches, and community partners together. Thank you to everyone who helps make this annual tradition possible and creates a safe, welcoming space for District 5 youth to learn, compete, and have fun.
Pride Coffee & S’Mores
District 5 was proud to host a morning Coffee & S’Mores event in celebration of Pride Month. County employees came together to enjoy coffee and a sweet treat while recognizing the importance of creating an inclusive workplace where every employee feels welcomed, respected, and valued.
Maricopa County Human Resources also joined the event to share helpful information and giveaways, while the Maricopa County Elections Department provided details about election worker opportunities available to County employees. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this celebration both informative and meaningful.

Maricopa County employees came together for a special Juneteenth luncheon focused on education, reflection, and the lasting significance of this important day in American history. Our guest speaker, Nathan Smith, delivered a thoughtful and engaging presentation that helped attendees better understand the history of Juneteenth and its continued impact on our communities.
