It is my pleasure to serve alongside such amazing families. I want to thank all of the teachers, staff, and volunteers for giving their time and talents for our families. I am blessed to be part of this community that cares deeply for each other. Thank you all for the laughter, smiles, and encouragement that you give me and the other families here. We are excited to have our spring handbook ready for you all and to see you back after the holidays. I hope you each get time to slow down and enjoy the precious moments with your family and friends. Have a very Merry Christmas!
