“I’ve always liked the first week of school better than the last week of school. Firsts are better because they are beginnings.” -Jenny Han

What an amazing first week of school it was. The joy of seeing some many smiling faces on students, parents, and staff was infectious. As we continue our beginning keep doing what you are doing. Building connections and trust leads to amazing school years. Please let us know how we can help with anything.
