What an amazing week it has been to see our staff so celebrated by our Clifford families and community! There has been no shortage of cards, flowers, coffee cart treats and love this week towards all the Clifford staff. Your children have been so excited to share their thoughts and beautiful creations with their teachers as we have welcomed them onto campus this week. We had several parents reach out and to make sure that all our wonderful staff were shown the love! We are genuinely so blessed to be a part of this warm and inclusive community. Thank you for taking the time to show our staff the love and appreciation they deserve.
Thanks for hanging on with us as we screech to the end of this school year. We have lots of updates in the coming weeks, so make sure to read through the newsletter as it will answer many questions you might have.
With much gratitude,
