Dear Families,
It was so fun to take some time today to celebrate Halloween/Fall fun with students, and although different from our typical celebrations, staff and students still found time to enjoy this time together. As we enter the month of November and the final weeks of our first trimester, we are excited for all of the learning and fun that awaits!
We hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend! Please see below for calendar and daylight savings reminders.
Kindly,
Christine Pfaff
