A message from me...
Good afternoon!
It's been a year since my acoustic neuroma surgery, an ordeal that tested me in ways I never imagined. As I look back, I'm struck by the overwhelming support I received from all of you. I'm deeply grateful for my family, friends, colleagues, and our community. Your collective kindness and encouragement had an amazing impact on my recovery.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your seemingly small acts of support meant the world to me and kept me going. I'm incredibly thankful to be healthy and able to live life, and I'm committed to paying it forward.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
Mike
Dress Code Reminder
It was great to have everyone back this week and have some warmer weather. With the nice weather I wanted to share quick reminder about appropriate dress to school. We want to encourage students to be mindful of their dress to school versus what they may wear during the summer.
Thank you for your assistance.
