On behalf of the faculty and staff, thank you for those who sent in gifts, cards, and goodies. Your generosity is deeply appreciated. A special thank you to Moms in Prayer for the wonderful Christmas Cafe that they provided to our Lower School employees last week.
May I wish you and your family God's very best during this time of celebration and joy. Have a meaningful vacation time filled with times of enjoyment and happiness.
In God's Love,
Dr. John Engstrom
Head of School
