November News

As we approach Thanksgiving, a holiday based on the concept of gratitude , there are so many things to be thankful for, especially during this time of uncertainty. We are thankful for our BF families that continue to be our learning partners throughout our hybrid learning model. We couldn't do this without you! We are thankful for our teachers who continue to learn new ways to ensure our students are learning everyday, whether they are in person or at home. We are thankful for our students who ignite our passion for teaching everyday. Finally, we are thankful for our extended family and friends, who support us everyday.
