A Note from Our Principal
We hope that you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving! As the winter holidays continue, we have many special activities planned for our students and look forward to spending the season with them. We’ve also enclosed several important winter and holiday reminders in this newsletter. Please read through it carefully and reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
As always, it is a honor and a privilege to watch your children learn and grow!
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Lisa Delaney
