Good Evening BW Families,

As we kick off the start of our Winter Break, I wanted to thank you for an amazing first semester and warm welcome to the community. It’s been a year of ups and downs with multiple shifts throughout. Your unwavering support and grace is greatly appreciated. I hope you are all able to relax, rest and connect with each other over this break. Thank you again for being patient as we move into the last schedule change that will take us to the end of the year.

Be well, be safe and I’ll see you in the new year.

With gratitude,

Grace
