May Edition
Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who takes the time out to read, share, and acknowledge the hard work and commitment done by our staff and students that is shared monthly in this newsletter. I hope it has given you all a snapshot into what happens in our building on a daily basis. Our community is a great one, but all communities can use fostering and nurture. Continue to foster and nurture your students, colleagues, and most of all yourselves. Until next year, be well!
