We are most thankful for the wonderful students who cross our threshold each day. Their enthusiasm, creativity, and interest in learning is contagious. Having them back in person this school year is the gift for which we are most thankful! We hope that over the next few days you will enjoy time with family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Stay healthy and travel safely,
