Finally, on a day when staff, parents, students and administration are on edge about Tik Tok nonsense, a fan belt burns out at 7:30a.m. and the fire alarm goes off. Are you kidding me? Luckily, our students & staff were amazing, handled the situation perfectly and we moved on with our day. There are days when the students drive me nutty, but today was all pride. I wish everyone a restful break. I refuse to set my alarm until I absolutely have to do it! Thank you to the Woodlawn community for being so great! See you in 2022!
