It's September and, as always. the summer has gone far too quickly! I hope you had a fun and safe summer and now feel ready for the Fall and busy schedules. Road safety is one of the most frequent things I hear about, so I thought I would highlight some road safety tips for Back to School. Let's all work together to ensure our children and students are safe as they head back to school.
I wish students, teachers and families a safe and successful school year!
