Dear ES Team,

Happy Thursday! There are a few important announcements for this week!   First, if you didn’t attend this morning’s contract meeting with DR. Moran, please be sure to attend the session being held this afternoon.  Dr. Moran has a lot of good news to share!:) Also, please see the email from David Chadwell regarding tomorrow’s PD schedule.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Cheers,

Donna
